MSK-SFM-53 Automatic Liquid Phase Reactor with Heating and pH Control for Ternary Co-Precipitation
The MSK-SFM-53 reactor is engineered for laboratory-scale synthesis of ternary liquid phase systems, enabling precise co-precipitation reactions essential for producing uniform battery powders and complex chemical compounds. This system supports continuous liquid phase preparation under tightly controlled temperature and pH conditions, crucial for reproducible wet chemical synthesis.
Temperature regulation is achieved via a recirculating hot water bath capable of maintaining the reactor temperature from ambient room temperature up to 90°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. The reactor vessel is constructed from double-layer stainless steel (SS 316 for the reactor and SS 304 for the cooling jacket), available in 3, 5, or 10 liter capacities, each equipped with mechanical stirring blades made of SS 316L. Stirring speed is adjustable from 0 to 1200 rpm, with blade positions customizable to optimize mixing efficiency.
Key Features
- Automatic pH control using a high-precision METTLER InPro4260i pH sensor with ±0.01 accuracy.
- Three digital peristaltic pumps deliver different solutions for dynamic pH adjustment via acid or alkaline dosing.
- 7-inch color touchscreen panel for real-time control and monitoring of pH, temperature, stirring speed, and liquid flow parameters.
- Continuous feeding and draining capability for co-precipitation processes based on programmable sequences.
- Multiple ports including four feeding ports, gas inlet and outlet, sampling port, and drainage for versatile process integration.
- Power supply options include 208-240 VAC single phase (50/60 Hz) with 2000 W total power; 110 VAC available via optional transformer.

Typical Applications
This reactor is suited for laboratory research and development involving wet chemical synthesis of ternary compounds, especially in battery material preparation such as uniform ternary system powders. It supports complex co-precipitation reactions requiring precise temperature and pH control.
Configuration and Operating Notes
The system requires three external containers for feeding liquids into the reactor via the peristaltic pumps, as well as one container for collecting drained solutions; these containers are not included. The reactor includes multiple ports for gas inlet/outlet and sampling. Safety precautions should be observed when handling corrosive acids or bases for pH adjustment. Power cable is included, but plug is not; 110 VAC operation requires an optional transformer.
