hydrothermal conditions without an autoclave
« on: August 06, 2008, 01:09:12 PM »
Hi all..

Can someone tell me how to maintain hydrothermal conditions: 200-250 C without having to use a titanium autoclave to grow my metal oxide.

Also, what is a titanium ultrasonic horn?
Is there any alternative for a vacuum evaporator? Can a normal dessicator be used?

I appreciate your replies.

Metal oxides of titanium should grow in air at 200-300 C without any problems. I've never heard of titanium ultrasonic horn, but you may wish to fish through these results:

1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.

But the procedure requires me to use hydrothermal conditions to get the final results.
Any suggestions on vacuum evaporator?

Thanks

Depends what you need to do in a vacuum evaporator? Most labs have a vacuum pump, and it couldn't take more than a few hours to cobble together a sealed box to place samples to evaporate in.
