Fixed-bed reactor H-Cube® Pro Hastelloy

continuouslaboratory-scaleprocess

The H-Cube® Hastelloy Pro hydrogenation flow reactor is designed to extend the available reaction space of its renowned stainless steel counterpart, the H-Cube® Pro. All wetted parts are made from Hastelloy C for improved chemical resistance. With the H-Cube® Pro Hastelloy, working with corrosive reagents becomes as easy as any other reaction with the H-Cube® product family Features of the H-Cube Pro Hastelloy • Hastelloy C pump head • Hastelloy C tubing • Hastelloy C CatCart® columns with a wide range of heterogeneous catalysts • No need for hydrogen cylinders, as hydrogen is generated on-demand by the system from water • Wide temperature range (10-150°C) • Wide pressure range (from atmospheric pressure to 100 bar) • No catalyst handling with pre-filled CatCarts® • High throughput • Great reaction control How does the H-Cube Pro Hastelloy work? • Hydrogen is generated by the electrolysis of water inside the system. • The microHPLC pump delivers pure solvent into the system, where it is mixed with hydrogen using a mixing valve. • The gas-liquid mixture progresses into the reaction zone where the system controls to the user defined reaction conditions (pressure, temperature, and flow rate). • Once the desired parameters are achieved and the reaction zone achieves stablity, the feed can be switched from the solvent to the reactant solution. • The reaction mixture passes through a CatCart® (a pre-packed column containing solid catalyst), where the reaction takes place. The product leaves the CatCart®, but the catalyst is retained. • The product is collected in the collection vial. • Reactions from milligrams to grams can be performed.
