So my analytical chemistry professor has made us do a monograph on the analytical techniques used in any kind of industry. This would seem easy enough, right ? Except it is not, all of the information I get about industrial processes do describe the flowchart and elaboration of the desired product but no mention of analytical methods in them (for quality control, for instance).

For example, there is plenty of information about the Kraft process for the elaboration of paper and pulp or the float glass process for the elaboration of glass but I cant find any kind of analytical method used in them to say, test if you have obtained the correct chemical at a certain point of the process or the efficiency of the reaction so I was wondering if there was any book or something where I can find this information.

Any help is aprecciated. Thanks

Try typing "Analytical methods used in...."    into google... the auto fill will give you a list of different industries.  Click on a few different ones. There are a lot of methods listed.

You will have to read some of the pages that the google auto fill directs you too...  there will be no magic list that just answers your question.

on the first page, without even following the links, I saw mention of HPLC, Mass Spec, Spectrometry.  Read around a bit - the info is there.

Starter:  first page regarding Fuel industry: - look at the key words.

Or type "indust" in this forum.  You can use Advanced Search functions to limit the search to only this Analytical Chemistry sub-forum.  People have asked specific questions, on industry analytics, right here, and pretty often.

Maybe you limited yourself to the production of paper or glass for some reason, but are those the only things you can think of that are made by industry?   Why not medicine, or food?

If you have access, you may check out the ASTM or ISO standard methods, which are used frequently in industrial and government testing labs.
