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 as the basic unit without a heating mantle and temperature controller or with added bottle heater and automatic temperature controller.
- Includes two extra 500 mL reaction bottles, twelve spare bottle stoppers, and a six-foot pressure hose for filling the hydrogen tank.
- 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.
- The bottle is shaken vigorously to initiate the reaction, which can be heated or cooled as needed.
- Reaction progress can be monitored by observing pressure drop in the system.
- Equipped with valves and fittings for admitting hydrogen, evacuating the bottle, and filling the hydrogen tank without disturbing connections.
- Separate gages display bottle and tank pressures continuously.
- Gas connection made with polypropylene tubing to avoid metal contact with the charge.
- Stainless steel tank, valves, and pressure gages are well suited for hydrogen use.
- Optional smaller one-liter stainless steel tank available for semimicro operations.
- Six-foot pressure hose included for filling the hydrogen tank from commercial gas cylinders.
Benefits
