[News & Trends]:Do you really understand hydrothermal reactors and high-pressure reactors?

Hydrothermal reaction kettle and high-pressure reaction kettle are two common reaction equipment in the laboratory, which have differences in usage scenarios and performance. The following will provide you with a detailed introduction to the differences and scope of application between hydrothermal reactors and high-pressure reactors


A hydrothermal reactor is a device that conducts chemical reactions under high temperature and pressure. It mainly consists of heating furnace, reactor, temperature control system, stirring system, and other parts. The hydrothermal reactor can react under solid, liquid, and gas conditions, and has a large reaction capacity and good sealing performance. It is widely used in catalytic reactions, organic synthesis, hydrothermal synthesis, and other fields


A high-pressure reactor, on the other hand, is an equipment that conducts reactions under high-pressure conditions. It usually consists of a heating device, reactor, pressure control system, etc. High pressure reactors are commonly used for chemical synthesis, catalytic reactions, organic synthesis, polymerization reactions, and other processes under high temperature and pressure. Compared with hydrothermal reactors, high-pressure reactors have a higher pressure and temperature range, making them capable of withstanding higher pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for more complex reaction conditions


In addition, there are certain differences in operation between hydrothermal reactors and high-pressure reactors. A hydrothermal reactor usually requires the addition of an appropriate amount of solvent or reaction medium, and requires high requirements for stirring and temperature control. High pressure reactors usually require the addition of reactants and catalysts in the reactor, and the control of reaction pressure and temperature to ensure the effectiveness of the reaction


From the perspective of applicability, hydrothermal reaction vessels are often used in fields such as hydrothermal synthesis, high-temperature solid-state reactions, and crystal growth. High pressure reaction vessels are suitable for chemical reactions in liquid and gas phases, polymerization reactions, coal to oil, and other fields


In summary, there are differences in usage scenarios, performance, and applicability between hydrothermal reactors and high-pressure reactors. When selecting a reactor, it is necessary to choose the appropriate equipment based on actual needs and reaction conditions. I hope that through the introduction in this article, you have a deeper understanding of hydrothermal reactors and high-pressure reactors.
