A high-pressure reactor system for process development

| By Chemical Engineering

The EM20-100-HC and EM60-100-HC 100-mL Hastelloy Pressure Reactors are designed for use with this company’s EasyMax synthesis workstation. These reactors expand the use of EasyMax to both autoclave-like organic synthesis and high-pressure process characterization. The 100-mL reactor’s design enables quick setup and fast results from low- to medium-pressure reactions (to 100 bars) using the built-in touch-screen and reactor combination like an autoclave; this simplifies mixing, temperature and pressure control and allows measurement of mass flow and gas uptake. Accessories, such as the iControl software, enable evaluation of gas consumption, mass transfer, kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis. The reactor covers the temperature range between 20 and 180°C. — Mettler Toledo AutoChem, Inc., Greifensee, Switzerland
