Check solvent vapor pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before use, determine the saturated vapor pressure of the solvent at the intended reaction temperature. The expected pressure must remain within the reactor&#8217;s maximum allowable pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Avoid excessive tightening of the PTFE liner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PTFE has a certain degree of compressibility under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. During first-time use, avoid excessive tightening of the reactor lid or top tightening screws, as thermal expansion and extrusion may cause deformation of the liner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Clean the liner before use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thoroughly clean the PTFE reaction vessel before each experiment to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and maintain sample purity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Lubricate the threads when required<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the operating temperature exceeds 150 \u00b0C, a suitable layer of high-temperature lithium-based grease is recommended on the threads before tightening the reactor lid. This helps reduce thread galling of stainless steel at elevated temperatures. For models with a silver-plated reactor lid, additional lubrication is not required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Do not use unsuitable solvents or reaction systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hydrothermal reactor should not be used under the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solvents with a boiling point below 60 \u00b0C, such as ether, acetone, or dichloromethane<\/li>\n<li>Reactions that generate a large amount of gas<\/li>\n<li>Flammable or explosive materials<\/li>\n<li>Materials classified as highly hazardous or extremely hazardous toxic substances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>6. Allow sufficient cooling before opening<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always ensure that the reactor has cooled and internal pressure has been safely released before opening the vessel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Follow the specified operating limits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do not exceed the rated pressure, recommended operating temperature, or other specifications of the selected reactor model.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Why Choose Our Hydrothermal Synthesis Reactor?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our hydrothermal synthesis reactors are designed for high-temperature and high-pressure laboratory applications, combining a pressure-resistant stainless-steel body with a chemically resistant PTFE or PPL liner.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Key advantages include:<\/li>\n<li>304 stainless steel pressure-resistant outer body<\/li>\n<li>PTFE and PPL liner options<\/li>\n<li>Working pressure options of 5 MPa and 10 MPa<\/li>\n<li>Multiple volume capacities from 25 mL to 1000 mL<\/li>\n<li>Quick-opening structure for convenient operation<\/li>\n<li>Integrated overpressure protection<\/li>\n<li>Suitable for hydrothermal synthesis and laboratory digestion<\/li>\n<li>Configurations available for different experimental requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q1. What is a hydrothermal synthesis reactor used for?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A hydrothermal synthesis reactor is used to conduct chemical reactions, material synthesis, and sample digestion under controlled high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. It is particularly useful for reactions that require a sealed environment or cannot be efficiently carried out at atmospheric pressure.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q2. What is the difference between a PTFE and PPL liner?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance and is suitable for a wide range of chemical reactions. PPL provides higher temperature resistance and can be used at temperatures up to 280 \u00b0C, depending on the specific reactor configuration and operating conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q3. What volumes are available?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Available reactor volumes include 25 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, and 1000 mL.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q4. What is the working pressure?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the model, the working pressure is available at 5 MPa or 10 MPa.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q5. Can the reactor be used with strong acids or strong bases?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The PTFE liner provides excellent chemical resistance and can be used with many strong-acid and strong-base systems. However, compatibility should always be evaluated based on the specific chemical, concentration, temperature, pressure, and reaction conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q6. Can the reactor be used for reactions that generate gas?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. The reactor should not be used for reactions that generate a large amount of gas, because gas generation can cause rapid pressure increases and create a significant safety risk.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Q7. What should I check before using the reactor?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before operation, check the condition of the reactor body, liner, lid, sealing components, and threads. Confirm that the reaction temperature and expected pressure are within the specified operating limits and that the selected solvent and reaction system are suitable for the reactor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Name:<\/strong> Hydrothermal Synthesis Reactor<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outer Shell Material:<\/strong> Stainless steel (SS-304)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inner Shell Material:<\/strong> PTFE(Teflon) \/ PPL<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volume: <\/strong>25\/50\/100\/200\/500\/1000mL (customize size available)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heating and Cooling Rate:<\/strong> \u22645\u00b0C\/min<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working Pressure:<\/strong> 5Mpa \/ 10Mpa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1035003,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[264],"product_cat":[97],"product_tag":[572],"class_list":["post-1035002","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-vimaterial","product_cat-reactor","product_tag-hydrothermal-synthesis-reactor","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1035002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1035002"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1035003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1035002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1035002"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1035002"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vimaterial.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1035002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
