Glass Reactors Complete Guide
Look:
You should follow these procedures when operating glass reactor:
If you want to know how to maintain glass reactor, you can refer to the following steps.
Here are glass reactor precautions :
When using the heat transfer oil for the first time, there should be no impurities, no mixing of new and old oil, and no chemical liquid dripping into it.
It cannot be heated to a high temperature at one time. It needs to be heated slowly first, and the temperature is slowly raised to allow the oil to be fully heated, so that it can be used for a longer time.
Domestic thermal conductive silicone oil generally boils when it is heated to about 160 degrees.
It is recommended that you choose imported thermal conductive silicone oil, which is colorless, odorless and has a longer service life.
For the materials whose reaction temperature is below 90℃, steam and hot water can be used for heating in stages.
First, the temperature should be uniform during heating to avoid local overheating and prevent some materials from deteriorating.
First, use steam to heat to about 60 °C at a medium speed to improve production efficiency, and then use 90 °C hot water to slowly heat up to the specified temperature.
In this way, the staged heating can improve the production efficiency, and at the same time, it can prevent the material from being decomposed by local high temperature or violently vaporized, and can also improve the recovery rate of the material balance reaction and reduce the consumption cost.
Look:
The glass reactor cooling system usually used for cooling reaction is mainly jacket cooling and coil cooling.
The cooling liquid used is mainly circulating water and freezing liquid. The cooling rate of the cooling liquid is fast but the cost is high.
During the experiment, if the temperature and pressure rise sharply, you should immediately stay away from the site for personal safety.
Therefore, it is necessary to set an emergency opening of the cooling system button in a slightly far away place, so that the heat source can be quickly cut off for cooling under the premise of ensuring personal safety.
In order to prevent the material in the three-layer glass reactor from generating a large amount of gas and increasing the pressure when the temperature is out of control, an emergency pressure relief should be set up.
A safety valve should be installed on the top of the glass reactor, if the pressure is too high, the pressure can be released in time.
A bursting disc should be installed for the process that may have a relatively violent reaction, and the outlet of the connecting pipe of the bursting disc must be extended to an outdoor safe place.
Do not point directly to the aisle or operating platform to prevent material splashing and hurting people.
How much does glass reactor cost?
There shows $2984 for a small glass reactor on internet.
But you should consider the following factors when ask the glass reactor price.
Here is the deal:
You need to pay more money for a customize design glass reactor than standard type.
Reason?
Cusomized glass reactor requires more design and cost to reach the function.
Standard glass reactor does not need to add extra elements and it does not need more labor to finalize function.
Look:
Different volume require different cost and glass reactor manufactuer sell them at different price.
You have to pay more if you choose 20L glass reactor compared to 10L glass reactor.
Here is the truth:
The more functions, the more configurable parameters, the higher the glass reactor price.
You need to confirm if you need compressive strength, whether there is heating, evaporation, cooling and other functions.
Generally, European brands glass reactor price will be higher than China glass reactor.
But you can also find reliable quality glass reactor from China manufacturer.
This is up to your choice.
If you want to use a famous brands glass reactor, you need pay higher price.
But you need to avoid to use vey low price to buy the cheaper glass reactor as it might lead safety issue during your usage.
Look:
Glass reactor can carry out rapid evaporation and fusion reaction.
It can be used in conjunction with various equipment such as low-temperature coolant circulating pump, low-temperature integrated machine, recirculating chillers, refrigerated heating circulator.
Here is the main methods to detect the seal of glass reactor.
The test medium can be used as air, nitrogen, ideally inert gas.
Oxygen or other gases are prohibited.
The temperature rise and pressure process must be carried out slowly.
The heating rate does not exceed 80 degrees per hour.
Connect the inlet valve of the compressor or high-pressure pump to the glass reaction part during the pressure test.
Stay for 5 minutes when the working pressure interval rises, and stay for 30 minutes when it rises to the test pressure to observe the sealing condition.
The test pressure should be between 100% and 105%.
When conducting experiments in glass reactor, if air leakage is found, first reduce the pressure, then properly tighten the nuts and joints, and strictly prohibit fixing under high pressure.
When customers buy glass reactors, they are most worried about the sealing performance of the kettle and whether it can maintain pressure.
The glass reactor needs to be pumped to a negative pressure state to meet the experimental conditions before use.
The pressure range that the glass reactor can withstand: -0.1MPA-0MPA.
The glass reactor will be tested for pressure holding before leaving the factory, and each reactor can be tested for 2 hours under pressure.
After the customer receives the reactor, there will be problems that the pressure is not maintained and the sealing is not enough after the test machine.
At this time, we need to check whether the valve of each glass part is closed and installed.
If necessary, the customer applies vacuum grease to the flange seal. For specific operating procedures, please contact the manufacturer for professional guidance.
Look:
The lab glass reactor cool or heat the reactants at constant temperature through the oil bath.
But what to do after you have installed it?
Here we list the main procedures.
Check for leaks after a certain amount of nitrogen is introduced to maintain pressure for 30 minutes.
If there is any leakage, please use soap foam to find the leakage point of the pipeline and nozzle. After finding the leakage point, release the gas and tighten it, and then pass the nitrogen pressure test again to ensure that there is no leakage and then start to work normally.
Water can be used for internal cooling through the cooling coil.
Please note that rapid cooling is prohibited to prevent excessive thermal stress from causing cracks on the cooling coil and the kettle body.
At the same time, when the temperature in the kettle exceeds 100 °C, the water jacket between the magnetic stirrer and the kettle cover should be connected with cooling water to ensure that the water temperature is less than 35 °C to avoid demagnetization of the magnetic steel.
Here is the truth:
You need to connect with a vacuum device, a high temperature or low temperature circulation device, etc. when putting explosion-proof jacketed glass reactor into use.
You can heat or cool the material during the stir process in the kettle at a constant temperature with hot solution or cooling liquid injected through the interlayer.
When the material is heated and reacted, the evaporation efficiency can be improved under vacuum conditions.
The solvent vapor is cooled into a liquid when it passes through the glass condensing coil (a cooling device needs to be connected), which can be refluxed into the kettle or recovered through the valve at the lower part of the reflux elbow.
After the reaction is completed, the material can be discharged from the side discharge port at the bottom of the kettle.
Generally, the pressure of the overall jacket cannot exceed 1MP, otherwise the manufacturing difficulty will be increased due to the large wall thickness of the tank body and the jacket.
When the diameter of the laboratory glass reactor is large or the pressure of the heat transfer medium used is high, the latter three types can be used.
Here is the question:
Will the temperature drop affect the glass reactor?
Look:
If you are in the low temperature area, you should pay special attention to the fact that if the heat transfer medium used in the glass reactor interlayer and condenser tube is water.
You need to pay attention to the freezing condition at low temperature.
In a static state, the water will expand after freezing, which will burst the glass kettle body or the condenser tube.
Therefore, after the experiment, the water in the interlayer and the condenser should be drained to avoid freezing at low temperature.
Most people are facing the problem:
When the temperature drops, it will affect the heating rate of the glass reactor and reduce the efficiency.
Here we list the useful ways to solve this issue.
This is the simplest and most direct insulation method. It’s like we wear more clothes when it’s cold. This can effectively prevent excessive temperature loss and provide heating speed.
Increased bath temperature allows glass reactor to accept higher temperature and shorten heating time.
When the instrument is close to the required operating temperature, lower the temperature of the oil bath to the actual operating temperature.
For example: when the actual operating temperature is 100°C, the temperature of the oil bath can be set to 120°C.
Then when the temperature of the reactor is close to 90 ℃, the temperature of the oil bath can be adjusted to 100 ℃.
This can effectively increase the heating rate and shorten the waiting time.
Add solution in batches to increase ramp rate.
The first liquid addition is about half of the capacity, and the temperature is close to the set temperature, and then the material is added to the reaction kettle.
You need to use the above three solutions to keep your glass reactor insulated during use according to your own situation.
Look:
The sealing method of glass reactor include packing sealing and mechanical sealing.
The packing seal is the gland compresses the packing when the compression bolt is rotated, so that the packing is deformed and adhered to the surface of the shaft to achieve the purpose of sealing.
In chemical production, the shaft seal is easy to leak. Once the toxic gas overflows, it will pollute the environment and even cause an accident. Therefore, it is necessary to control the pressing force.
The elastic deformation of the filler should be large, so that the filler is close to the rotating shaft, and the shrinkage force is generated on the rotating shaft. At the same time, the packing is required to have enough turns.
The mechanical seal is composed of four parts: dynamic and static ring, spring loading device and auxiliary seal ring.
Due to the action of the spring force, the dynamic tightness is pressed on the static ring. When the shaft rotates, the spring loading device and the moving ring and other parts rotate together with the shaft, while the static ring is fixed on the seat frame and does not move. The annular sealing end faces that the rings are in contact with prevent material leakage.
Although the structure of the mechanical seal used in the glass reactor is a bit complicated, the sealing effect is very good.
Here is the detail instruction for glass reactor:
Look:
Safety is the most important factor for glass reactor users.
Glass Reactor manufacturers should consider safety issue when design glass reactor to ensure the safety of end users.
GWSI fully consider the safety of glass reactors in the design, and change from passive temperature control to active pressure control.
GWSI glass reactor equipped with vent holes to reach higher safety level.
GWSI also design and manufacture new type of explosion-proof double-layer glass reactor with a special explosion-proof motor and heating-cooling-refrigeration cycle device matching it.
You should avoid the reaction caused by gas in the usage process and try to keep the reaction kettle environment in negative pressure or normal pressure.
You should also pay attention to the glass reactor surface temperature and do not touch it to prevent burns or frostbite.
Reactants are also considered when designing single and double glass reactors.
The requirements of the reactants in the reactor are as follows.
Mixing of liquids can be easily achieved by constant stirring or mechanical enterprise mixing, and heat transfer of the reaction mixture is carried out by convection data.
In this case, it is not possible to mix these materials completely by the mixer. Once the mixing force is gone, the bulk material will settle to the bottom of the kettle, forming a layer of non-conductive material.
The following phenomena occur:
Carbonization of solid reactants, darkening of mixture color, waste of carbonized material, waste of heat and time, non-uniform polymerization, non-uniform polymer composition.
Due to the waste of materials and energy and the impact on the ecological environment, in order to avoid these problems, active materials can be added multiple times in two steps:
First step is to add the liquid reaction material into the reaction kettle, and heat the medium to a temperature slightly higher than the reaction temperature or the melting point of the solid reactant.
Slowly add solid reactants with continuous stirring to allow it to continuously increase the reaction or dissolve to avoid precipitation in the enterprise.
However, it is impossible to maintain this speed, and sometimes the phenomenon of precipitation and coking occurs.
And it takes us a long time to manage in this way to better complete the response.
Look:
The glass reactor glassware is made of high borosilicate material.
The glass reactor glassware part is heated to a temperature near the glass transition temperature after glass part processing.
Insulation and heating, eliminating the temperature increase and decrease of each part of the glass part.
Relax the stress and remove the stress in the glass parts, so that the appearance of the glass parts is smoother and more beautiful, and the service life is greatly improved.
It can withstand high temperature of 300 degrees Celsius and low temperature of -80 degrees Celsius.
A reliable glass reactor will not fry in high temperature environment and will not break in low temperature environment.
Glass Reactor production must be processed, tested and debugged in strict accordance with the corresponding standards.
According to the different production process and operating conditions, the design structure and parameters of the glass reactor are also different.
Here is the truth:
In the case of improper installation or operation, you will often encounter the situation that the vacuum degree of the glass reactor is not well maintained.
In fact, you don’t need to be nervous and we will provide several ways to solve this problem in the right way.
Here we go.
Look:
The selection of the glass reactor motor is very important.
If you use an inappropriate motor it will directly affect the production progress or damage the glass reactor.
Now we will introduce the tips on how to choose suitable stirring motor for your glass reactor.
The torque is determined according to the large viscosity of the material.
The reaction is dynamic and the viscosity will also change.
The diameter of the agitator blade and the frontal cross-sectional area, and the speed of the agitation.
Thereby determining the large torque of the motor at this speed to prevent overloading.
The maximum torque of the selected motor should be more than 1.5 of the maximum torque required for the stirring reaction to be safe, and to ensure that the footsteps are always carried out at the required speed.
Choosing a Motor Should Care About Torque, Not Power.
Motors of the same power, at the same speed, the torque is not necessarily the same, especially the AC motor and DC motor, the difference is very large.
As far as a single motor is concerned, the maximum torque is different at different speeds.
This need to decided on your budget.
If the speed requirements are not high, you can choose a geared motor to save your cost if your budget is small.
If your materials and products are flammable and explosive, an explosion-proof motor should be selected.
And this will cost you more budget compared to the ordianry type motor.
Frequency conversion glass reactor motor will cost more than Manual Adjustment type.
You need to consider which type of motor you need for your glass reactor.
Look:
The condenser is an indispensable part of the glass reactor and plays an important role in quickly converting the vaporized gaseous substances into liquids and quickly transports the heat of the pipes to the air near the pipes.
Since the condensation replaces the cooling tower, the water treatment problem caused by a large amount of water is avoided.
Glass reactor condenser not only greatly reduces the energy conservation and environmental protection but also save your operating cost.
The glass reactor condenser need to be regularly cleaned and maintained in all directions to ensure you have a successful experiement.
Here is the steps on how to maintain the glass reactor condenser.
The explosion of the double-layer glass reactor is very dangerous, which threatens people’s life and property in the production test.
It is the top priority to understand the reasons for the explosion of the jacketed glass reactor and effectively curb the occurrence of this phenomenon.
Some chemical reactions are exothermic reactions.
When the reaction temperature exceeds the specified temperature, a large amount of gas is generated by the violent reaction of the material, which causes the pressure in the kettle to increase sharply, thereby deforming the inner wall of the double-layer glass fan and causes a large explosion.
Solution:
Look:
When chemical enterprises use the steam output by the power plant to supply heat for production, the steam output by the power plant can only be used after decompression.
Once the pressure reducing valve fails, or the safety valve of the steam buffer tank fails, the high-pressure steam output by the power plant is directly input into the double-layer glass reactor jacket.
The overpressure of the jacket is caused, and the wall of the kettle bulges out in a large area due to the external pressure.
Solution:
The automatic control system of the glass reactor is a commonly used temperature control equipment in the industry.
During the cooling and heating process, the temperature change in the temperature control device is realized through the reciprocating cycle of the medium or refrigerant, so as to achieve the effect of cooling and heating.
Here we list main solutions to control the glass reactor temperature system.
The glassware in the glass reactor is made of double-layer high borosilicate glass and it is popular among many R&D labs.
However, you need to pay attention to the solution of fault problems in the usage process.
Here we list the main technical trouble shooting guide for reference.
After the power switch is turned on, the indicator light does not light up, you need to find professional electricians to solve the problems of disconnection, looseness, and inability to power on the power supply connected to the equipment, and then debug the equipment after solving the problem.
The device is powered on and the power is displayed normally, but cannot be rotated.
The rotating shaft is rusted, you can communicate with the supplier in time.
In another case, due to the failure of the motor and power, a professional electrician is called for inspection and repair.
To check seals for wear, replace seals, maintain vacuum fat regularly.
Vacuum gauge and vacuum pump should also be cleaned regularly.
During use, if the vacuum suddenly disappears during normal use, stop working immediately, confirm whether the glass is cracked, and contact the factory to replace the damaged parts.
The glass reactor is designed with double-layer glass.
The inner glass layer can be put into the reaction solvent for stirring reaction and the interlayer can be connected to different cold and heat sources for different temperature reaction.
In fact, the cooling and cooling of the glass reactor needs to be strictly operated according to the specified cooling method of the reactor.
This is very important for glass reactor.
If the operation is not follow right cooling way, it will have a bad effect on the glass reactor and you need to pay special attention.
At present, the common cooling methods of glass reactor include water cooling, oil cooling, etc.
Each cooling method has its own advantage.
Therefore, you should use the recommend cooling method required by the manufacturer.
Do not apply the rapid cooling method for your glass reactor.
The glass reactor is a kind of pressure equipment.
It is actually in a special environment when it is working, so quick cooling is prone to lead cracks.
This is particularly bad for the glass reactor.
As the temperature difference stress will greatly damage the reactor from the physics view.
At present, the most common glass reactor cooling method is very simple.
During the cooling process, the user can use water to cool first through the cooling coil so that a better cooling effect can be achieved.
Here we list practical tips to extend your laboratory glass reactor.
When cleaning the autoclave, special attention should be paid not to let water or other liquids flow into the heating furnace to prevent the heating furnace wire from burning.
If the jacket heat transfer oil is heated, be careful not to add water or other liquids when adding the heat transfer oil, and check the oil level of the heat transfer oil from time to time.
When the reaction temperature is determined, it is not allowed to change the temperature setting value during the heating process, so as to avoid a large overshoot of the temperature.
In order to ensure the normal operation of your lab glass reactor and the personal safety of the staff, please be sure to ground the wire.
When operating, you must pay attention to avoid damage to it due to human reasons, resulting in forced stoppage of production. At the same time, care should be taken to maintain the reactor after use, so as to prolong its service life.
Look:
The glass reactor is designed with an independent reaction rack.
unlike the industrial reactor with a reaction bench, and the reserved feeding port of glass reactor is small, so the glass reactor feeding process is more difficult.
Here we introduce the practical ways to feed glass reactor.
The feeding amount should not be too large when feeding the glass reactor at one time.
You should evaluate the solvents based on reaction temperature, reflux and pressure for your glass reactor.
You need to add the appropriate amount of ingredients.
Generally, it should not exceed 2/3 of the glass reactor kettle body.
For solid reagents, it is recommended to prepare a solution and add it to the glass reactor.
Liquid reagents can be pumped into the glass reactor through the matching water pump or oil pump.
The reaction material is added to the reaction kettle through a constant pressure dropping funnel or a common dropping funnel, and a corresponding mobile ladder needs to be matched so that the staff can add the test material.
