Liquids or solids are introduced into the reactor via connections at the top cover, while vapors are discharged through the top and wastes from the bottom. Its main advantages are versatility and visibility, as a single vessel system can carry out a sequence of different operations without breaking containment, which is particularly useful for processing toxic or highly potent compounds.
Types of glass reactors
There are different types of glass reactors available, including glass-lined, hydrothermal synthesis, magnetic stirring, electric heating, and steam reactors. However, the most commonly used is the glass reactor due to its advantages, such as no pollution, high temperature and corrosion resistance, hygiene, and fast heating. The basic principle of a glass reactor is to stir the reaction and control the reflux and evaporation of the solution in a sealed container under a set constant temperature and normal or negative pressure.
Applications
The glass reactor finds application in various scenarios, including high temperature reactions (up to 300℃), low temperature reactions (down to -80℃), negative pressure reactions under vacuum, solvent synthesis at a constant temperature, distillation and reflux reactions, vacuum distillation reactions, extraction separation reactions, purified reactions, concentration reactions, and stirring reactions.
Users can adjust the temperature and pressure to suit different experimental environments and requirements. Its versatility makes it useful in various industries, including chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. The glass reactor's ability to handle a wide range of chemical reactions and maintain visibility throughout the process makes it a popular choice for research and development.

FAQ
What is a glass reactor?
A glass reactor is a laboratory instrument used to facilitate chemical reactions. It provides an environment conducive for reactions and holds the reactants in place, while also allowing for easy monitoring of the progress of the reaction. There are two main types of glass reactors: batch reactors and continuous reactors. Batch reactors are smaller in size and can only handle small quantities of reactants, while continuous reactors allow for the pouring of reactants into the reaction chamber continuously and can handle larger volumes of reactants. Glass reactors are used in a variety of applications, from chemical synthesis to environmental and life science research.
What are the advantages of glass reactor?
The advantages of glass reactors are their ability to optimize and replicate chemical reactions, and provide a clear view of the reaction process. They are corrosion-resistant, work with different atmospheric pressures and vacuum, and can be used for a variety of applications such as catalytic research, process engineering, and biomass research. Glass reactors are also designed with safety in mind, allowing for safe processing of solvents and acids. Other benefits include the availability of various options such as heating/cooling systems, vacuum pumps, PH probes, and pressure gauges.
What material is glass reactor?
The glass reactor is made of borosilicate glass and has excellent physical and chemical properties. The borosilicate glass is highly resistant to thermal shock, chemical corrosion, and mechanical impacts, making it ideal for use in laboratory equipment. The glass is also transparent, allowing for easy observation of the reaction inside the vessel. The glass reactor is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressure, and it is used in various industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and dye, among others.
What are the different types of glass reactors?
Different types of glass reactors include single-layer, double-layer, and three-layer glass reactors. Other types of reactors include glass-lined reactors, hydrothermal synthesis reactors, magnetic stirring reactors, electric heating reactors, and steam reactors. Glass reactors are commonly used in high and low-temperature reactions, vacuum reactions, solvent synthesis at a constant temperature, distillation and reflux reactions, vacuum distillation reactions, extraction separation reactions, purified reactions, and concentration reactions.
What temperature should a glass reactor be?
The temperature range of a glass reactor may vary depending on the model and its intended use. In general, glass reactors can operate at temperatures as low as -80°C and as high as 300°C. However, the optimal working temperature will depend on the specific reaction being conducted and the chemicals being used. It is important to carefully monitor and control the temperature of the glass reactor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the reaction.
