MULTIAUTOCLAVE WITH SET OF VESSELS FOR COMBINATORIAL SYNTHESIS OF ZEOLITES AND OTHER MATERIALS

摘要

A vessel arrangement having a base (22) and multiple vessels (28) suited for simultaneously conducting a plurality of isolated experimental reactions or treatments at atmospheric process conditions or elevated temperatures and pressure condition has been developed. A component of a first material is introduced into one independent vessel (28) through an opening in its top of the first vessel and another component of a second material is introduced into a different independent vessel through its top. Both vessels (28) are removably located about a base (22) at different first locations. Transformation of the components in the vessels occurs to produce different materials therein. After completion of the experiments a displacement medium (44) simultaneously urges the vessels (28) from their respective locations about the base (22). Typically at least one property of the materials from the vessels is determined either within the vessel or after recovery of the materials.
