Hydrothermal Autoclave
Hydrothermal Autoclave
A Hydrothermal autoclave is a specialized piece of laboratory equipment used for conducting hydrothermal synthesis. This process involves chemical reactions in aqueous solutions at high temperatures and pressures. The autoclave is typically made of high-grade stainless steel to withstand extreme conditions and has a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or Teflon lining for chemical resistance.
Features :-
- High Temperature and Pressure: Hydrothermal autoclaves can operate at temperatures up to 250°C and pressures up to 3 MPa, enabling the formation of crystals and other compounds that are not stable under standard conditions.
- Versatile Applications: Used in materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology, they facilitate the synthesis of nanoparticles, zeolites, and other advanced materials.
- Controlled Environment: The sealed environment prevents contamination and allows for precise control over reaction conditions, ensuring reproducibility and purity of the products.
