There are three types of glass-lined steel reactor designs: AE, BE, and CE. These reactors can be provided with a jacket or half-coil and offer a wide selection of agitation solutions. They are closed-welded reactors without a large main opening, allowing for higher pressure ratings.
In addition to the glass-lined reactors, there are various other types of glass reactors available. One common type is the jacketed glass reactor, which can be double or single jacketed. Jacketed glass reactors are designed for engineering reactions of different types of materials in a vacuum and temperature-controlled environment. They have customizable stirring speeds and a stable pressure feed tube for adding elements to the reactor at a controlled rate. These reactors are known for their visualization, accuracy, and utility.
There are also other types of reactors such as hydrothermal synthesis reactors, magnetic stirring reactors, electric heating reactors, and steam reactors. However, the glass reactor is considered one of the most commonly used types. It offers advantages such as corrosion and high-temperature resistance, as well as being sanitary. Glass reactors can be single-layer, double-layer, or three-layer reactors.
The design and shape of glass reactors can vary depending on their application. Round-bottomed reactors are commonly used for mixing and reaction, while flat-bottomed reactors are used for centrifugation. The size of the reactor also varies depending on the amount of reactant to be used. Glass reactors can range from small benchtop models to large industrial reactors.
Another type of reactor is the plug flow reactor model, also known as the continuous tubular reactor. This type of reactor facilitates the flow of one or more fluid reagents through a tube or pipe. Chemical reactions occur as the reagents travel through the pipe, resulting in the formation of new compounds and by-products. Plug flow reactors are mainly used for potent reagents that cannot be safely mixed in ordinary reactors. They are often found in well-established laboratories.
In summary, there are multiple types of glass reactors available, including glass-lined reactors, jacketed glass reactors, hydrothermal synthesis reactors, magnetic stirring reactors, electric heating reactors, and steam reactors. Among these, the glass reactor is commonly used and has advantages such as no pollution, high temperature and corrosion resistance, and fast heating. The glass reactor can be single-layer, double-layer, or three-layer. Additionally, there are different reactor designs such as round-bottomed and flat-bottomed reactors, as well as plug flow reactors for continuous reactions.
