Parr shaker type hydrogenators provide compact and easily operated systems for treating chemicals with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst at pressures up to 5 atmospheres (60 psig) and temperatures to 80°C. They are used primarily for synthesizing or modifying organic compounds by catalytic hydrogenation, reduction, or condensation. They are equally suitable for any laboratory procedure in which a liquid and gas must be mixed vigorously in a glass reactor at pressures up to 5 atm.
Product Features
- The 3910 Series Apparatus can be ordered under two configurations: basic apparatus without heating mantle and temperature controller, or with heating mantle and a temperature controller added.
- Includes two extra 500 mL reaction bottles, twelve spare bottle stoppers, and a six-foot pressure hose for filling the hydrogen tank.
- Equipped with an explosion-proof motor for enhanced safety in hazardous environments.
- Materials to be treated are sealed in a reaction bottle with catalyst connected to a hydrogen reservoir.
- Air is removed by evacuation or flushing with hydrogen before applying pressure from the reservoir.
- Bottle is shaken vigorously to initiate reaction, with heating or cooling as required.
- Pressure drop monitoring allows progress tracking of the hydrogenation reaction.
- Complete valves and fittings system enables hydrogen admission, evacuation, and tank filling without disturbing connections.
- Pressure gages continuously display bottle and tank pressures.
- Polypropylene tubing connects hydrogen tank to reactor to avoid metal contact with the charge.
- Stainless steel tanks and valves ensure durability and safety with hydrogen.
- Six-foot pressure hose included for easy connection to commercial gas cylinders.
