[News & Trends]:The difference between hydrothermal kettle and reaction kettle: Understanding these can help you make scientific choices

Hydrothermal reactors and reaction vessels are two common types of equipment in laboratories, playing important roles in fields such as chemistry, biology, and pharmaceuticals. This article will provide you with a detailed introduction to the differences between hydrothermal reactors and reaction reactors, helping you scientifically select appropriate equipment based on experimental needs


In principle, the working methods of hydrothermal reactors and reaction reactors are different. A hydrothermal kettle utilizes thermodynamic principles to achieve the dissolution, decomposition, or synthesis of substances by reacting under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The reaction kettle is operated under normal pressure or a certain pressure, and different reactions are achieved by controlling parameters such as temperature, stirring speed, and pressure


Structurally, there are also some differences between hydrothermal reactors and reaction reactors. A hydrothermal kettle usually consists of a kettle body, an electric heater, a temperature sensor, and an agitator. The kettle body is made of high-pressure steel material, lined with high-temperature and pressure resistant chemical materials, which can withstand high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions. The structure of a reaction vessel is relatively simple, generally including a reaction vessel, heating device, stirring device, and temperature control system


Again, in terms of application scope, there are also differences between hydrothermal reactors and reaction reactors. Hydrothermal reactors are mainly used for high-temperature and high-pressure reactions such as dissolving substances, synthesizing crystals, and degrading organic compounds. They are commonly used in the fields of catalyst synthesis, materials science, and environmental science. Reactors are more commonly used in organic synthesis, drug manufacturing, biotechnology and other reaction processes, some of which require fixed temperature and pressure to ensure product quality and yield


From an operational and safety perspective, hydrothermal reactors and reaction reactors are also different. A hydrothermal kettle usually requires high operational skills, as under high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions, any problems may cause serious injury to equipment or operators. The reaction kettle is relatively safe, easy to operate, and suitable for a large number of conventional experimental operations


Based on the above differences and characteristics, we hope to help you make a scientific choice between a hydrothermal reactor and a reaction vessel. When purchasing equipment, it is necessary to weigh factors such as experimental requirements, operational skills, and safety. If necessary, you can also consult professionals to obtain more accurate advice. Choosing suitable equipment will help improve experimental efficiency, ensure the accuracy of experimental results, and ensure the smooth progress of laboratory work.
