Mineral carbonation reactor

The Büchi Polyclave thermostated pressure reactor is a laboratory pressure reactor designed for conducting carbonation experiments under controlled conditions. The equipment enables precise regulation of temperature and pressure, ensuring high repeatability of experimental results. The reactor is designed for safe operation at elevated pressures and allows reactions to be carried out under inert or reactive atmospheres (e.g., CO₂). The system includes a robust reactor vessel with appropriate connections for gas supply and monitoring of process parameters. Due to its reliable temperature control and stable regulation of operating conditions, it is well suited for research on carbonation processes and other reactions under pressurized environments.

Access to the equipment is available by prior arrangement with the equipment manager and only in the presence of a trained operator. After initial contact, a meeting is organized to define the type, scope, and method of the measurements and to schedule an available time slot for their execution. Contact details of the equipment managers are published on the ZAG website.
