This book offers a broad coverage of the rapidly-expanding topic of Near Infra-Red Spectrosocpy (NIR), which is both unique and contemporary. The contributed chapters take the reader through the general aims of the technique, the problems of methodology, calibration, instrumental and software development, and spectral interpretation, moving onto the many and diverse fields of applications. Its wide coverage across the industrial spectrum commends the book for study by all those users of NIR throughout industry. These include the processing and control of bulk products in the heavy chemicals industry (fibres, petrochemicals), fine chemicals (including pharmaceutical products), the food industry (quality assessment and control) in agriculture and fisheries, and in microbiological and environmental sciences.
