Item Description
Catalysts enable or accelerate chemical reactions. Sci-tech Fixed Bed Catalysis Apparatus Model TH 165 is designed for the decomposition reaction of dissolved saccharose in glucose and fructose.
A peristaltic pump transports the reactant (saccharose solution) into bottom of the reactor from a tank. The catalyst takes the form of a fixed bed in the reactor. The saccharose solution flows through the fixed bed. In the process, saccharose is decomposed into glucose and fructose. The catalyst accelerates the reaction and so increases the yield of the product (glucose/fructose mixture). The product is collected in a tank.
Three reactors allow various catalyses to be compared. The chemical catalyst used is exchanger resin. The recommended biological catalyst is the enzyme invertase. A regulated heating water circuit additionally permits analysis of the influence of temperature on the reaction.
