Hydrothermal Reactor

Hydrothermal Autoclave Reactors are used to carry out hydrothermal synthesis reactions at high temperature and pressure. Hydrothermal synthesis is ideally used for producing synthetic quartz, gems and other single crystals with commercial value. These reactors generally come in two varieties, one of them being Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Teflon lined hydrothermal autoclave reactors and the other being PPL lined autoclave reactors. A hydrothermal reactor is usually made up of two parts, the outer high-quality stainless-steel jacket and the inner Teflon lined chamber or Teflon chamber. While using a Teflon-lined autoclave, the reaction can be carried out at maximum 240-degree Celsius (428 Fahrenheit), the safe temperature being 200-degree Celsius (392 Fahrenheit). On the other hand, PPL lined reactor operate at higher temperatures where the safe temperature is 260-degree Celsius (500 Fahrenheit) and the maximum operating temperature is 280-degree Celsius (536 Fahrenheit). These Hydrothermal Autoclave Reactors are widely used in the scientific laboratories, in research and development labs, institutional organizations, in quality analysis departments in industries etc. A variety of shapes and capacities of these reactors can be found at the BioMall website.
