How Do I Do High Temperature Steaming?

AI Thread Summary
Creating a steam unit for catalysis at 816 C requires careful consideration of safety and design. A sealed container may not be the best option due to the risks associated with high-temperature steam, which can cause severe burns and lung damage if inhaled. Flowing steam is suggested as a safer alternative. An electric kiln is considered a potential setup, but safety measures must be prioritized given the dangers of handling high-temperature steam. There is a lack of detailed guidance in scientific literature on this specific process, highlighting the need for practical insights from experienced individuals in the field.

Hello all,

I am looking to create a steaming unit that will steam catalyst at 816 C. I'm unsure as to what is the best way to go about this. Would a sealed container with steam and catalyst be the best or would flowing steam be better? Any recommendations on what type of setup to use? I was thinking an electric kiln.

I've looked at science journals but none of them describe the process. Hopefully someone here have some insight on how this is done.

I don't know what you are up to, but casual handling of high temperature steam is definitely NOT RECOMMENDED. Steam is invisible, and at the temperature you quoted, steam is easily capable of producing serious, if not fatal, burns. If inhaled, even in small amounts, the damage to the lungs would be serious, if not fatal.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
