Safe Scale-Up of Processes Containing Hazardous Species in the Headspace with Inline IR

Inline IR has been applied to evaluate the scale-up of processes that potentially generate hazardous diborane, hydrazoic acid, methyl chloride, or acetylene in the headspace of reactors. In addition, a new, simplified approach to calibrate the online IR analyzer for the measurement of hydrazoic acid in the gas phase has been described.
