H-Cube® Advance Hastelloy
Flow reactor for advanced applications with corrosive materials
On-demand hydrogen generation and exceptional chemical resistance
The H-Cube® Advance hydrogenation flow reactor's Hastelloy version is designed to extend the available reaction space of its stainless steel counterpart, the H-Cube® Advance. The whole liquid path is made from Hastelloy C, which improves the chemical resistance of the flow reactor, moreover, it enables reactions with corrosive reagents while retaining all benefits of the H-Cube® product family, like its ease of use and efficient laboratory hydrogenation capabilities.
Features of the H-Cube® Advance 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® Advance 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.
Applicable corrosive reagents
- Mineral acids and bases
- Strong oxidizers (such as ferric and cupric chlorides)
- Nitric, formic and acetic acids, acetic anhydride
- Wet chlorine
- Sea water and brine solutions
- Hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide solutions
