Common materials used in reactor construction include:
Stainless Steel: Known for its corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for a wide range of catalytic processes. Inconel: A nickel-chromium-based superalloy that offers excellent resistance to oxidation and high temperatures. Ceramics: Often used in high-temperature applications due to their thermal stability and resistance to chemical attack. Glass: Useful for laboratory-scale reactors where chemical inertness and transparency are required. Polymers: Selected for low-temperature applications where chemical resistance is needed.
