Internet of Things as a Tool for Sustainable Analytical Chemistry: A Review

Sustainable analytical methods are highly demanded in the modern society. Within the green principles, novel procedures that attend the sustainable development goals have been proposed and the internet of things (IoT) can play key role to achieve this goal. The association of IoT with analytical chemistry enables the real-time obtaining of analytical data to control industrial processes as well as for monitoring different environmental scenarios and human health by accessing remotely analytical information. In this context, this review presents the main IoT technologies used for analytical chemistry as well as a tutorial for beginners in the field.

现代社会对可持续分析方法有着极高的需求。遵循绿色原则，契合可持续发展目标的新型分析流程已被提出，而物联网（Internet of Things, IoT）可为实现该目标发挥关键作用。物联网与分析化学的融合，可实现实时获取分析数据，用于管控工业流程；同时还能通过远程调取分析信息，对各类环境场景与人体健康状况开展监测。在此背景下，本综述不仅介绍了应用于分析化学领域的主流物联网技术，还为该领域的初学者提供了入门教程。
