Hello,
I have a question about laboratory equipment,
Apart from borosilicate glass, what other types of materials can be used as reactor?
Would it affect the quality of the synthesis?
What equipment is recommended to synthesize 500 P2NP g.??
Thank you

Barrel in barrel, so you can cool and heat. Large condenser made from pipe in pipe.Hole for condenser, hole for teflon overhead stirring adapter (Or a large cement mixing drill hooked up to a regulator).Your aluminium needs to be thicker than sub 50-100g reactions, much thicker or else it will go out the condenser.The limit is 100g is said, but I am fairly convinced you can scale up a lot more.There is 1 person here that I know of that does 1kg reactions with this method and by what he says it takes "hours" to amalgamate and aluminium sheet is used.

XiaoyanNo, it should not affect quality, but watch out, at room temp. both hdpe and pp are fine in almost anything but at 110*C they start deforming especially under solvents, acids etc.
UWe9o12jkied91dOk.
The ideal temperature range for a good synthesis is between 50 and 70°C aprx, right?
XiaoyanYes, but at the first addition the temp. may suddenly rise higher than that
UWe9o12jkied91dAny recommendations on the thickness of the aluminum that I should use and how to make the amalgam with that
aluminum?
Should I cut it to some size?
XiaoyanI worked well with 0.25mm-3mm "sheet" ,I say in quotes because its bendable by hand easily. I cut into small sizes and do 1-2 sec blitz in coffee grinde/blender just for a bit of surface area
UWe9o12jkied91d3mm aluminum, for what amount of p2np is it recommended?
Does it grind well with a coffee grinder?

Thank you so much!!
I am ussing a 5L glass flask to synthetize aprx 30-40g...
But i want to try some bigger..
I would like to do my own "DIY" eqipment to scale up the reaction.
I thought about using an empty 25/50-L bottle of those intended to contain chemical products.
Is it a good idea?
The quality of the synthesis would be affected using plastic equipmen???
