Hydrothermal synthesis
Hydrothermal synthesis equipment
The equipment for hydrothermal synthesis allows the synthesis under a maximum hydrostatic pressure of 2.5 bar and temperatures of 900 ºC in an aqueous medium. Inconel autoclaves are used for synthesis performed above the critical point of water, (from Autoclave Engineers Inc.) while stainless steel autoclaves lined with teflon and fitted with an external manometer are preferred for work below that critical point. In this case, working limits are 230 ºC and 150 bar, but a better control of the synthesis conditions is achieved. The product yield can reach 100 g.
