Characteristics and operation methods of laboratory reactors

A laboratory reactor is actually a closed container that can decompose insoluble substances. Generally, an enameled reactor, a stainless steel reactor, or a glass reactor is used. These laboratory reactors are often used for small-dose synthesis reactions or sample pretreatment. More importantly, the reactor can create a special environment of high temperature, high pressure, and strong acid and alkali resistance for experimenters. At the same time, it can also do sample pretreatment in some photochemical analysis. It is widely used in research and production in petrochemical, biomedicine, materials science, geochemistry, environmental science, food science, commodity inspection and other departments. So what characteristics and operating methods should the laboratory reactor have? Please look down

1. The characteristics of the reactor:

1. Good corrosion resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, no harmful substances overflow, environmental protection and safety.

2. Under certain temperature and pressure conditions, it can quickly dissolve samples that are difficult to dissolve at room temperature and samples containing volatile elements without damage.

3. The appearance is beautiful and light, the result is simple, the operation is convenient and easy to understand.

4. Shorten the reaction time, the reaction result is stable, and the data is reliable.

2. The operation method of the reactor:

1. Put the reactant into the reactor body. The added reactant should not exceed 80% of the volume of the reactor body. In actual use, it is generally recommended not to exceed 75%.

2. If the reactant is corrosive, put the content of the reactor body into a corrosion-resistant lining (polytetrafluoroethylene, p-polyphenylene), so as to ensure that the reactor body is not corroded.

3. Put the reactor into an oven or other heater to raise the temperature to the required reaction temperature according to the specified heating rate, ensuring that the specified maximum design temperature of the reactor must not be exceeded.

4. Cool down after the reaction. It is important to note that the cooling process must be operated in strict accordance with the regulations to ensure safety. Correct operation can extend the life of the reactor.

5. After the temperature in the reactor body drops below the boiling point of the reactor contents, the lid of the reactor can be opened.
