Glass reactor system is an important chemical experiment equipment, widely used in chemistry, medicine, environmental protection, food and other fields. In the preparation of catalysts,Double Wall Glass Reactor has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, convenient cleaning, control of reaction conditions, and high transparency, which provide strong support for the preparation of high-quality catalysts.

Structure Of Glass Reactor System

The structure of the 50L Jacketed Glass Reactor is generally composed of inner tank, outer tank, interlayer, bracket, stirrer, thermometer, interface and other parts. The inner tank is usually made of acid and alkali resistant glass, which has good chemical stability and transparency, and the reaction process can be directly observed. The outer tank is usually made of stainless steel or other materials, which has good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The interlayer is the vacuum area between the inner and outer layers, usually made of glass or stainless steel, which can effectively isolate the temperature and pressure between the inner and outer layers.
 
The bracket is used to fix the reactor, usually made of steel, with adjustment feet on the bracket, which can be adjusted according to the ground conditions. The stirrer is used to stir the reactants, usually a magnetic stirrer can avoid contamination of the reactants. A thermometer is used to measure the temperature inside the reactor, usually a digital thermometer. The interface is used to connect the reactor and other equipment, usually with inlet, outlet, gas interface, etc.
 

How the Glass Reactor System Works

The working principle of the glass reactor system is to carry out a chemical reaction in the inner tank, and the outer tank and the interlayer form a vacuum area to isolate the temperature and pressure between the inner and outer layers. The reactor is usually stirred by a stirrer to ensure a uniform reaction. During the reaction process, the reaction temperature can be measured by a thermometer, and the feed and discharge can be controlled through the interface, as well as the introduction or discharge of gas.

Advantages Of Glass Reactor System

Preservative

The glass reactor system has the advantage of good corrosion resistance. The glass reactor is made of high borosilicate glass, which can resist the corrosion of various chemical substances, such as strong acid, strong alkali, organic matter, etc., so it can be applied under various reaction conditions.
 

Good compression performance

The glass reactor system has the advantage of good pressure resistance. The bottom of the reactor is designed with a balancer, which can make the reactor evenly stressed and avoid rupture due to excessive reaction pressure.
 

Easy to clean

The glass reactor system is easy to clean. The surface of the reaction kettle is smooth and flat, easy to clean, and it is not easy to leave reactants, so as to avoid the influence of reactant residues on the next experiment.
 

High transparency

The glass reactor system has high transparency, and can visually observe the state and color changes of the reactants during the reaction process, which helps the experimenter better grasp the changes during the reaction process and adjust the experimental conditions in time.
 
In addition to the above advantages, the glass reactor can also meet the needs of different experimental conditions by changing or adding accessories. For example, cooling devices or heating devices can be added to meet the temperature requirements in different reaction processes;
A sampling port or an observation window can also be installed to facilitate the experimenter to monitor and adjust the reaction process.

Application Of Glass Reactor System

The glass reactor system also has a wide range of applications in the world, including medicine, chemical industry, new materials, food, environmental protection and new energy. These application cases show that the glass reactor is not only an important experimental equipment, but also provides important technical support for scientific research and industrial development in various fields.
 

1. Chemical field

The glass reactor system can be used to prepare a variety of organic and inorganic compounds.
 

Case:

In Europe, a chemical company named Huntsman used glass reactors to develop a new type of polyamide resin, which can be used to make lightweight materials and automotive parts. Using a glass reactor can accurately control parameters such as temperature and pressure during the reaction process, thereby optimizing the reaction conditions and improving the quality and output of polyamide resin.

2. Medical field

The glass reactor system can be used to prepare drugs and medical materials. In the food field, glass reactors can be used to prepare food additives, spices, pigments, etc.
 

Case:

In the United States, a pharmaceutical company called Cerulean Pharma Inc. used glass reactors to develop a new drug targeting cancer cells. The drug uses microfluidic technology in a glass reactor, which can precisely control the distribution and mixing of the drug during the reaction, thereby improving the purity and activity of the drug.

3. Environmental protection field

The glass reactor system can be used to treat pollutants such as waste water and waste gas.
 

Case:

Some environmental protection companies use glass reactors to develop new catalysts and adsorbents to purify harmful substances in the atmosphere, water and soil. In addition, glass reactors can also be used to prepare environmentally friendly materials such as biofuels, renewable energy and degradable plastics.

4. Fields of scientific research

The glass reactor system can be used to study chemical reactions, catalysts, catalytic reactions, etc.
 

Case:

In Japan, a company named Sumitomo Bakelite Co. Ltd used glass reactors to develop a new type of thermoplastic resin, which can be used to manufacture high-performance electronic components and automotive parts. By controlling parameters such as temperature and pressure during the reaction in the glass reactor, the molecular structure and physical properties of the resin can be controlled, thereby achieving high-performance material preparation.
