High Pressure Hydrothermal Autoclave Reactor

Polymerisation reactions: processes involving the polymerisation of monomer molecules to form polymer compounds, e.g. the production of plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene.

Alkylation and acylation: the introduction of alkyl or acyl groups into organic molecules, often used in the synthesis of drugs and dyes.

Hydrolysis: compounds are decomposed in the presence of water, e.g. hydrolysis of esters to produce alcohols and carboxylic acids.

Cracking reactions: the decomposition of large compounds into small molecules at high temperatures, e.g., the cracking of petroleum to produce ethylene.

Oxidation reactions: compounds lose electrons and increase their oxidation state, e.g. oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones.

Hydrogenation reactions: compounds react with hydrogen, e.g. hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds.

Chemical reactions at high temperatures and pressures: reactions that need to be carried out at high temperatures and pressures, e.g. refining processes of certain metals.

Biochemical reactions: such as enzyme catalysed reactions, fermentation processes, etc., need to be carried out under mild conditions, but sometimes high pressure is needed to improve the efficiency of the reaction.
