Introduction of lab scale micro reactor

Laboratory reactors are crucial core equipment in research and development fields such as chemistry, medicine, materials, and food. Its core purpose is to simulate and optimize chemical reactions or physical mixing processes in controlled, enclosed small-scale environments, providing reliable data and process foundations for industrial scaling up production.

Simply put, it is a 'micro factory' or 'chemical reaction simulator'.

Main purpose and detailed explanation of functions

1. Research and development of chemical reactions

·Synthesis of new substances: Conducting experiments on the synthesis of new compounds in the research and development of drugs, polymer materials, nanomaterials, specialty chemicals, and other fields.

·Process condition optimization: Systematically study the effects of key parameters such as temperature, pressure, time, stirring speed, material ratio, catalyst, etc. on reaction results (such as yield, purity, selectivity), and find the optimal process route.

·Reaction mechanism research: By controlling variables, gain a deeper understanding of how chemical reactions proceed step by step.

2. Process safety assessment

·Assess reaction hazard: Study exothermic reactions in a closed environment, measure heat release (heat flow rate), and evaluate potential thermal runaway risks.

·Test pressure limit: Determine the maximum pressure that can be generated by the reaction, providing a basis for the selection and safety design of production equipment.

·Research on gas release: safely conducting reactions involving hazardous gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

3. Catalyst screening and evaluation

·Quickly and parallelly test the activity, selectivity, and lifespan of multiple catalysts to screen for the most suitable catalysts for industrial production.

4. Research on Physical Processes and Mixing

·Mixing and Mass Transfer Research: Optimize the stirring form and speed to ensure uniform mixing of materials and improve mass transfer efficiency.

·Crystallization and precipitation processes: Study the control conditions for crystal growth, particle size, and morphology.

·High pressure/high temperature extraction: such as supercritical CO ₂ extraction of natural products.

5. Small batch production

·Used for producing high value-added products ranging from grams to kilograms, such as pharmaceutical intermediates, standards, special reagents, etc., to meet preliminary clinical trials or market testing needs.
