Webinar: Sustainable Chemistry with In-Situ FTIR
In-Situ IR Study on Sustainability Approach
Programöversikt
- Applications of in-situ IR spectroscopy to achieve sustainability goals
- Determine reaction endpoints via residual isocyanate levels
- Kinetics study of scrubber reaction to remove acrylate waste
Join us as we explore in-situ Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and its applications to sustainable chemistry practices.
Sustainability is an important consideration in modern chemistry. By minimizing waste and reducing the use of hazardous substances, we can work toward a more environmentally friendly and economically viable chemical industry. In-situ FTIR is a powerful technique that can help in achieving these sustainability goals.
During the webinar, we will be discussing how in-situ FTIR can be used to:
Monitor and optimize chemical reactions in real-time, reducing the need for trial-and-error approaches that can lead to wasteful processes.
Identify reaction intermediates and by-products, enabling the development of cleaner and more efficient synthetic routes.
Determine reaction kinetics, which allows for the control of reaction pathways, leading to the synthesis of target products with high purity and yield.
Our expert presenters will be demonstrating examples of how in-situ FTIR has been used to advance sustainable chemistry. By learning about the capabilities of in-situ FTIR, you can gain insights and strategies for optimizing your own chemical reactions, reducing waste, and improving the overall efficiency of your processes.

Xianghuai (William) Wang, Ph.D.
Lubrizol
Xianghuai (William) Wang received his Ph. D in Physical Chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China for the study of the high-resolution and high sensitivity infrared molecular spectroscopy. He then held Post-Doctoral positions at Northwestern University, UCLA and Bowling Green State University, using various spectroscopic method (IR, NIR, Raman, fluorescence, transient state UV-Vis etc.) to study different materials. He started his career in industry with Dow Corning, focusing on IR/Raman/NIR spectroscopy study on silicone and silane material. Currently, he is a Principal Research Scientist within the Measurement Science department at Lubrizol. His research interest is to apply in situ monitoring spectroscopic technique in process control from small lab scale to manufacture scale. He has published 40 peer-reviewed articles and submitted 6 patent applications with 1 patent granted.
