A prototype sensing system for in-situ monitoring of volatile organic compounds in contaminated groundwater was tested at a pilot scale plant. The sensor consists of a commercially available Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, connected to a 6 m long infrared transparent silver halide fibre optic cable. A 10 cm long core-only section at the centre of the fibre is mounted on a sensor head and coated with a hydrophobic polymer layer, while the remaining fibre is protected by Teflon tubing and thus not in contact with the surrounding media. The sensor head was immersed into the monitoring wells of the pilot plant testing the sensor system under circumstances close to field conditions and typical for in-situ measurements. The pilot plant consists of a 1 m3 cubic tank filled with gravel. A pump is used to circulate water horizontally through the tank, simulating a natural aquifer. The evolution of the concentration of analytes injected into the system is monitored with time using the developed prototype sensing system. The results are validated by corresponding sampling and analysis with headspace gas chromatography.

As unsafe components in herbal medicine (HM), saccharides can affect not only the drug appearance and stabilization, but also the drug efficacy and safety. The present study focuses on the in-line monitoring of batch alcohol precipitation processes for saccharide removal using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. NIR spectra in the 4000–10,000-cm[Formula: see text] wavelength range are acquired in situ using a transflectance probe. These directly acquired spectra allow characterization of the dynamic variation tendency of saccharides during alcohol precipitation. Calibration models based on partial least squares (PLS) regression have been developed for the three saccharide impurities, namely glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Model errors are estimated as the root-mean-square errors of cross-validation (RMSECVs) of internal validation and root-mean-square errors of prediction (RMSEPs) of external validation. The RMSECV values of glucose, fructose, and sucrose were 1.150, 1.535, and 3.067[Formula: see text]mg[Formula: see text]mL[Formula: see text], and the RMSEP values were 0.711, 1.547, and 3.740[Formula: see text][Formula: see text], respectively. The correlation coefficients [Formula: see text] between the NIR predictive and the reference measurement values were all above 0.94. Furthermore, NIR predictions based on the constructed models improved our understanding of sugar removal and helped develop a control strategy for alcohol precipitation. The results demonstrate that, as an alternative process analytical technology (PAT) tool for monitoring batch alcohol precipitation processes, NIR spectroscopy is advantageous for both efficient determination of quality characteristics (fast, in situ, and requiring no toxic reagents) and process stability, and evaluating the repeatability.
