Construction material is the basic factor in the selection of equipment. When dealing with a product that needs high corrosion resistance and purity, the glass reactor is there to help you. In this case, several types of reactors are used in the industry, including glass reactor, hydrothermal synthesis reactor, stirring magnetic reactor, electric heating reactor, steam reactor and many others. However, the glass reactor is just a single type of reactor that is usually regarded as a commonly used one.
The glass reactor is the generic term for the type of reactor commonly used in the process industries. They are used for numerous process operations like the dissolution of solids, product mixing, chemical reactions, batch distillation, crystallization, extraction and polymerization. It shows the great number of advantages of a 5L glass reactor that is not only corrosion and high temperature resistant but very sanitary. Generally, there are three types of glass reactors, single layer, double layer and three-layer glass reactors.
Glass Reactor Applications:
The glass reactor is widely used in process industries, especially in the biochemistry instrument industry, modern fine chemical, scientific research experiments, biological pharmacy and technical secondary schools. It is an ideal instrument for teaching, experiments, production, and pilot test. The application of a glass reactor is necessary for various reasons.
They are specially designed to produce responses of different materials at regulated temperatures and vacuum conditions. The major features of each reactor are flexible mixing rates and a steady feed channel. They will allow you to put the ingredients into the tank at a consistent and regulated rate. The built-in condenser can recover certain materials at a regulated speed.
The application of the glass reactor can be described as follows: A glass reactor can be pressurized to work and operate at varying temperatures. They are used to carry out different chemical reactions, including high-temperature reactions (when the maximum temperature reaches 300ºC), low-temperature reactions (when the minimum temperature reaches -80ºC), vacuum for negative pressure reaction, solvent synthesis at a constant temperature, distillation and reflux reaction, extraction separation reaction, purified reaction, concentration reaction, stirring reaction and many more. However, users can adjust the temperature and pressure to adopt various experimental environments according to operating conditions and requirements. Generally, a glass reactor consists of a glass vessel that contains an agitator and integral heating or cooling system.
Liquids or solids are inserted through connections at the top cover of the reactor. Vapors come from the connections at the top, and the wastes come out from the lower side of the reactor. The glass reactor’s versatility and visibility are the two big benefits of glass reactors. A single vessel system can easily carry out the sequence of various operations without break containment. It is very useful when processing toxic or highly potent compounds.
Sizes of Glass Reactors:
The glass reactor can be combined with gears for unit operations like distillation, filtration, extraction, absorption and concentration for both discontinuous and semi-continuous reactors and continuous reactors. However, there are many different sizes of glass reactors. The range starts from 5 L to 100L. The exceptional quality of the glass reactor, which is 5L borosilicate glass, is used. It is the most powerful and shows the best physical and chemical properties.
Advantages of Glass reactor:
There are several industries where glass reactors are widely used, including the chemical industry, laboratory research, metallurgical industry and pharmaceutical industry. They are important in a variety of sectors. Some of the most prominent advantages of glass reactors are as follows:
- They are resistant to all sorts of chemicals.
- The reactor is made from glass, providing a better vision for all reactions.
- Glass is used to test and react with a huge range of substances.
- They are very light in weight.
Jacketed Glass Reactor:
The Jacketed Glass Reactor’s chamber is surrounded by the cooling and heating shell that circulates refrigerant or heating fluid to regulate the temperature of its contents. However, the housing can facilitate a consistent thermal exchange between the circulating fluid and vessel junctions. 50L jacketed glass reactor is the widely used size of jacketed glass reactor. There are many well-known jacket reactors, including medium pipe curl jackets, dimple jackets, paint rings and standard jackets.
Conclusion:
Borosilicate 50L jacketed glass reactor provides superior corrosion resistance with the additional benefit of process visibility. This great feature makes components from the QVF Supra series a popular choice in the fields of research and development.
