Process Analytical Chemistry: Applications of Ultraviolet/Visible Spectrometry in Environmental Analysis: An Overview

Abstract Process analyzers based on the selective absorption of the ultraviolet (UV) and/or visible (VIS) radiation provide an on-line monitoring highly reliable of the composition and the industrial process control. This review provides information about the technological advances in this area and its industrial applications, especially environmental applications.
