In the field of biomedicine, it can be used to prepare biological materials, nanomedicine, etc. In the field of energy, it can be used to develop new energy materials; In the field of geochemistry and environmental science, it can be used to study rock minerals, soil pollution and other problems.

 

High temperature and high pressure environment: hydrothermal synthesis reactor can work under high temperature and high pressure conditions, which is conducive to the ablation of strong acids and the decomposition of insoluble substances. By controlling the reaction temperature and pressure, the reaction rate between the strong acid and the insoluble substance can be accelerated, thus improving the ablation efficiency.

Corrosion resistant materials: The inner liner of hydrothermal synthesis reactor is usually made of corrosion resistant materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or para-polystyrene (PPL). These materials have excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand the erosion of various organic solvents such as strong acid, strong alkali and aqua Regis, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

Safety performance: The design of hydrothermal synthesis reactor fully considers the safety performance, and adopts a variety of safety measures to prevent the leakage and explosion of dangerous substances such as strong acids. For example, the equipment is usually equipped with safety accessories such as pressure gauge and bursting disc to release the pressure in time when the pressure is too high to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

 

Use precautions

Feed amount control: When using hydrothermal synthesis reactor to dissolve strong acid, it is necessary to strictly control the feed amount to ensure that the feed coefficient is less than 0.8 to prevent excessive gas resulting in too high pressure during the reaction process.

Operation specifications: During operation, strictly follow the operation instructions of the equipment to ensure the sealing and safety of the equipment. At the same time, you need to periodically check the parameters and components of the device, and replace the damaged parts in time to ensure the normal running of the device.

Safety protection: Due to the existence of dangerous substances such as strong acids, the use of hydrothermal synthesis reactor needs to take safety protection measures, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves and other protective supplies to prevent strong acids from splashing on the skin and eyes.

 

 

The working environment

Hydrothermal synthesis reactor makes use of the high temperature and high pressure closed environment in the tank, so that the insoluble substances such as strong alkali can be dissolved quickly. In this environment, the activity of the strong base is enhanced, and the reaction rate between the strong base and the insoluble substance is accelerated, thus improving the ablation efficiency.
