Accurate, efficient, and safe experimental equipment is the key to success in product development and scientific research. Traditional photocatalytic reaction devices often face many challenges such as uneven illumination, inaccurate temperature control, and safety hazards. To this end, we are pleased to introduce a transparent double-layer photocatalytic quartz reactor, designed specifically to overcome these challenges.

Transparent double-walled photocatalytic quartz reactor is a high-end reaction apparatus specifically designed for photocatalysis, photochemical synthesis, and precision temperature-controlled experiments. Its core advantage lies in the use of high-purity transparent quartz (SiO₂ ≥ 99.99%) for both the reaction vessel and the optical window, with a light transmittance exceeding 93% in the ultraviolet and visible light spectra, ensuring that light energy is efficiently transferred to the reaction system. The unique double-walled jacket structure enables precise temperature control via circulating fluid, covering a wide range from low to high temperatures. It simultaneously meets the requirements for sealed reactions under both atmospheric pressure and slight negative pressure conditions, making it an ideal choice for both research experiments and pilot-scale upscaling.

Material characteristics: The main body is made of high-purity quartz glass (with a light transmittance of ≥ 99.99%), which is resistant to high temperatures (up to 200 ℃), chemical corrosion, and can withstand strong acid and alkali environments, ensuring that light energy penetrates the reaction system without loss.

Structural design: The double-layer jacket can accommodate circulating media (such as refrigerant, hot oil, or tap water) to achieve precise temperature control from -5 ℃ to 100 ℃, avoiding the risk of rupture caused by thermal expansion and contraction in traditional single-layer reactors.

Light source system: Built in adjustable power light sources (xenon lamp 100-1000W, mercury lamp 200-1000W, metal halide lamp 200-400W), supporting full band simulation from ultraviolet to visible light, meeting experimental needs such as photocatalytic degradation and photo induced synthesis.

Intelligent control: equipped with a microcomputer controller, real-time display of temperature, stirring speed, light source power and other parameters, supporting electric stirring (high torque, capable of processing high viscosity samples) and vacuum reaction (vacuum degree up to 0.096MPa).

Addressing pain points: Traditional reaction vessels suffer from low light energy utilization, inaccurate temperature control, and uneven stirring due to opaque materials. This product utilizes high transparency quartz and double-layer temperature control design to significantly improve reaction efficiency and data repeatability.
