Optical spectroscopy system and method for monitoring liquid phase chemical reactions
A system for monitoring a chemical reaction in a liquid reactor system includes a sample liquid conduit in communication with the liquid reactor system for receiving sample liquid and directing the sample liquid to an optical spectroscopy device, and a laser beam source. The optical spectroscopy device receives the laser beam from the laser source, and guides the laser beam to the sample liquid to generate an optical spectroscopy signal. A detector detects the optical spectroscopy signal and creates a detection signal responsive to the optical spectroscopy signal. A processor processes the detection signal to determine the identity and amount of at least one chemical species in the liquid. A system for continuously sampling a chemical reaction and a method for continuously monitoring and controlling a chemical reaction are also disclosed.
