Can a multi zone rotating electric furnace be used for experiments with gas flow?

Experimental multi zone rotating electric furnaces can usually be filled with gas, and many models support the introduction of nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, etc. to meet the processing needs of different materials in specific atmospheres. The following is a detailed explanation of its ventilation function:

1. The function of ventilation:
Atmosphere control: By introducing inert gases (such as nitrogen and argon) or reactive gases (such as hydrogen), the atmosphere inside the furnace can be precisely controlled to meet the processing requirements of different materials in specific atmospheres.
Preventing oxidation: Introducing inert gas during high-temperature treatment can effectively isolate oxygen, prevent material oxidation, and ensure the accuracy of experimental results.
Promoting reaction: In specific experiments, introducing reactive gases can promote the progress of chemical reactions, improve the selectivity and yield of the reaction.

2. Implementation method of ventilation function:
Gas control system: Experimental multi zone rotating electric furnaces are usually equipped with gas control systems, including inlet and outlet ports, gas flow control devices, etc., which can accurately control the amount and flow rate of gas introduced.
Sealing design: In order to ensure the stability of the gas environment, the furnace body usually adopts a sealing design, such as using silicone rings to squeeze and seal, to prevent gas leakage and the entry of external air.

3. Application scenarios of ventilation function:
Material synthesis: In the process of material synthesis, the introduction of specific gases can promote the reaction, improve the purity and performance of the material.
Heat treatment: In the heat treatment process of metal or ceramic materials, introducing inert gas can prevent material oxidation and improve material quality.
Catalytic reaction: In catalytic reaction research, introducing reactive gases can provide the necessary conditions for the reaction, promote the activation of the catalyst, and facilitate the progress of the reaction.
