| Abstract Scope |
Real-time and in situ monitoring of chemical composition within nuclear materials processing streams can provide unprecedented insight into process chemistry. This can facilitate significant benefits at large scale, e.g. process control, nonproliferation efforts, and cost reductions. However, this approach can also offer a powerful route to better understand the fundamental chemistry of actinides or improve efficiency of development and testing of new actinide processing techniques. While many tools are available to support real-time process monitoring, optical spectroscopy-based approaches have the benefits of providing detailed chemical composition information, including quantification of targets in unique oxidation states and speciation, with instrumentation that typically exhibits fast response and mature technology. Most importantly, optical spectroscopy can be paired with chemometric analysis, a multivariate form of analysis, to provide real-time analysis of process streams during operation. This talk will cover applications of optical spectroscopy-based monitoring paired with chemometric analysis to highly complex process streams. |
