Abstract: | A test array is described employing a destructive analytical technique for the long-term monitoring of an industrial-scale separation process. As an example, we chose frontal chromatography as the separation and ICP/AES as the analytical method. The feed solution of the process was conveyed by a process pump via the separation unit to a sample station, where a small portion was diverted and transported by a roller pump into the spectrometer. We equipped our array with different loops for operating the process, calibrating the instrument and verifying the calibration. We obtained identical results for the different loops by absorbing the pulsation of the process pump and arranging for identical suction lines of the spectrometer pump. Based on the results, we redesigned the sample station for a technical application using only commercially available parts. |
