Automated reaction systems typically comprise the following components:
- Reactors: Where the chemical reactions take place. These can be batch reactors, continuous flow reactors, or microreactors. - Sensors and Detectors: Used to monitor reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure, pH, and concentration of reactants and products. - Pumps and Valves: Control the flow of reactants and catalysts into the reactor. - Control Software: Manages the operation of the entire system, including setting reaction conditions, monitoring parameters, and collecting data. - Data Analysis Tools: Analyze the collected data to provide insights into reaction kinetics, mechanisms, and optimization strategies.
