Good luck!!, Process Mass Intensity (PMI) is a metric used by industry to determine the efficient use of materials in a process by comparing the total mass input of raw materials to the total mass of desired product output. The total mass input factors in all materials required for synthesis, isolation and purification of a desired product, including reactants, solvent, water and any other required additives. For a pharmaceutical industrial process, rank each component from lowest to highest mass input., According to the Pfizer Solvent Selection Guide, solvents are sorted into three categories based on their suitability for use in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
