Titanium reactors are reaction vessels primarily made of titanium, and are classified into three types: pure titanium, composite titanium, and titanium-lined. Composite titanium reactors are the most widely used due to their superior performance and lower cost. Titanium surfaces readily form a stable passivation layer, exhibiting high corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, non-magnetic properties, biocompatibility, and high specific strength. Design pressure ranges from -0.1 to 35 MPa, and volume ranges from 50 to 30,000 L. They support electric/steam/heat transfer oil heating and jacket/coil cooling.
This equipment is suitable for the production of high-purity chemicals in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and semiconductor industries, and can perform processes such as sulfidation, nitration, and hydrogenation. It employs a magnetically driven stirring system with a speed of 0–500 r/min, and the stirring blades can be customized. Use is prohibited in anhydrous strong oxidizing environments, or in fuming nitric acid media with a concentration >98% or dry chlorine gas. Titanium reactors have expanded from the aerospace and medical fields to civilian industries such as automotive, power, and leisure.
