[News & Trends]:Differences and application advantages between reaction vessels and reaction tanks

Reactors and reaction tanks are two commonly used equipment in the chemical industry, playing an important role in chemical production. 

Although they are all used for chemical reactions, they have significant differences in structure, function, and application fields. From the perspective of structure and appearance, a reactor is usually a sealed cylindrical container equipped with an agitator and heating/cooling equipment for fine chemical reactions. 

A reaction tank is a relatively simple container, generally without stirring equipment, used for storing, stirring, mixing, solid-liquid or liquid-liquid chemical reactions, as well as reversible or irreversible biochemical reactions. From a functional perspective, a reactor is usually used for chemical reactions in liquid or gas-liquid phases, involving control of multiple factors such as temperature, pressure, and stirring. 

Reaction tanks are generally used for stirring, mixing, storage and other operations, with relatively less temperature and pressure control. In terms of application, reaction vessels are often used in fields such as biopharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, food processing, dyes, and coatings, which can meet the needs of high-precision chemical reactions and have strong universality and scalability. The reaction tank is mainly used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, etc. 

It is mainly used for storage, mixing, stirring and other operations, and is a common basic equipment in chemical production. In summary, although there is some overlap between the reaction kettle and the reaction tank in certain aspects, there are still significant differences in their structure, function, and application fields. 

In practical applications, selecting appropriate equipment can better meet production needs, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and thus achieve better economic benefits.
