MOC for versatile, multi purpose test reactor that is compatible with wide range of chemicals
MOC for versatile, multi purpose test reactor that is compatible with wide range of chemicals
(OP)
We are thinking of fabricating a lab reactor (essentially a small pressure vessel) to test out various reactions at lab scale. Approx. 5 Litre volume and capable of taking up to 50 bar pressure.
What might be the most versatile material of construction to go for? There would be no universally OK material I do realize but based on typical chemicals encountered what options might be worth considering?
I am thinking Hastealloy-C. It seems OK for everything we handle right now: HCl / H2SO4 / H2
Teflon sleeves / lining can be an option but I really like resistant metals best than the risk of a bad lining & corrosive material leaking in to the space between liner & base metal.
