Abstract
The invention describes a high-pressure vessel for holding samples which are to be heated, the high-pressure vessel having: a lower part (5, 104) and a lid part (6, 105) which can be locked together and when closed surround on all sides a reaction chamber for initiating and/or promoting chemical and/or physical high-pressure reactions, it being possible for the lower part (5, 104) and the lid part (6, 105) to be moved relative to each other in an automated fashion between an open access position and a closed microwave processing position, a sample holder (101) and/or a vessel insert (9) being connected to the lid part (6, 105).
Claims15
A high-pressure vessel for holding samples which are to be heated, the high-pressure vessel comprising:
- a lower part (5, 104) and a lid part (6, 105), wherein the lower part and the lid part are configured to allow locking the lower part and the lid part together, and further configured such that, when locked together, the lower part and the lid part surround on all sides a reaction chamber;
- wherein the reaction chamber is configured to allow initiating and/or promoting chemical and/or physical high-pressure reactions;
- wherein the lower part and the lid part are further configured to allow movement, relative to each other in an automated fashion between an open access position and a closed microwave processing position;
- and
- at least one of a sample holder (101) a vessel insert (9) coupled to the lid part (6, 105).
A process for initiating and/or promoting chemical and/or physical high-pressure reactions on samples, comprising:
- heating the samples and thereby exposing the samples to pressure in a reaction chamber which can be heated by heat of a high-pressure vessel;
- wherein the high-pressure vessel surrounds the reaction chamber on all sides and which has a lower part (5, 104) and a lid part (6,105), and further comprises a sample holder (101) and/or a vessel insert (9) being coupled to the lid part (6, 105), and
- moving the lower part (5, 104) and the lid part (6, 105) relative to each other in an automated fashion between an open access position and a closed microwave-processing position.
A process for initiating and/or promoting chemical and/or physical high-pressure reactions on samples, comprising:
- heating the samples and thereby exposing the samples to pressure in a reaction chamber which can be heated by heat of a high-pressure vessel;
- wherein the high-pressure vessel is made from a material that withstands high pressures and surrounds the reaction chamber on all sides;
- wherein the high-pressure vessel has an insulation lining enclosing the reaction chamber;
- and
- heating the insulation lining by the heat and simultaneously cooling the insulation lining by a cooling arrangement surrounding at least a region of the sample holder of the high-pressure vessel.
