Slot: has_physical_state

The slot to specify the physical state of a MaterialEntity.

URI: SIO:000008 Alias: has_physical_state

Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
Reagent A ChemicalSubstance that is consumed or transformed in a ChemicalReaction. no
Precursor A MaterialSample that serves as input material in a catalyst Synthesis.
Precursors are consumed or transformed during the preparation process.		 no
Microreactor Microreactor — a miniaturised flow reactor with characteristic dimensions
in the sub-millimetre range, enabling precise thermal control and rapid
screening.		 no
PlugFlowReactor Plug flow reactor (PFR) — a tubular reactor in which reactant composition
varies along the axis with no axial mixing.		 no
FluidizedBedReactor Fluidized bed reactor — a reactor in which the catalyst particles are
suspended in an upward-flowing gas or liquid stream.		 no
MaterialisticMixin A LinkML mixin used to pass down properties common to all material entities. It is needed for example to have MaterialSample have the same properties as MaterialEntity, although it is defined as a subclass of EvaluatedEntity. no
PolymerMixin A LinkML mixin used to pass down properties common to all chemical substances that are composed of macromolecules of different kinds and which may be differentiated by composition, length, degree of branching etc.. no
ChemicalSubstanceMixin A LinkML mixin used to pass down properties common to all material entities that are described in a chemical context via being composed of chemical entities (e.g. atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, complex, conformer etc., ) of the same type or of different types. no
SlurryReactor Slurry reactor — a three-phase reactor in which catalyst particles are
suspended in a liquid phase through which gas is bubbled.		 no
CSTR Continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) — a well-mixed, continuous-flow
reactor operating at steady state.		 no
MaterialSample A Sample that was derived from a previous MaterialSample or some other kind of MaterialEntity. no
DissolvingSubstance A liquid ChemicalSubstance that dissolves or that is capable of dissolving a ChemicalSubstance. no
FixedBedReactor Fixed bed reactor — a tubular reactor packed with a stationary catalyst bed.
The most common reactor type in heterogeneous catalysis testing.		 no
SubstanceSample A MaterialSample derived from a chemical substance that is of interest in an analytical procedure. no
CatalystSample A MaterialSample that is the product of a catalyst Synthesis.
The specific type of catalyst (e.g. heterogeneous, supported metal)
is expressed via rdf_type using a VOC4CAT term.		 no
Autoclave Autoclave reactor — a sealed pressure vessel for batch reactions at
elevated temperature and/or pressure.		 no
Catalyst A ChemicalSubstance or MaterialEntity that initiates or accelerates a ChemicalReaction without itself being affected. no
Reactor A reactor is a container for controlling a biological or chemical reaction or process. no
MaterialEntity A material is an Entity that has some portion of matter as proper part. no
PolymerSample A SubstanceSample derived from a Polymer. no
ElectrochemicalReactor Electrochemical reactor used in electrocatalytic experiments, including
H-cells, flow cells, and membrane electrode assemblies.		 no
ChemicalReactor Abstract Reactor (chemdcat-ap) subclass representing a catalytic reactor
vessel.

Reactor is more specific than the general Device (AgenticEntity): it restricts
the used_reactor relation (is_a: carried_out_by) on Reaction to dedicated
reactor equipment. This semantic distinction separates analytical
instruments (Device) from reaction vessels (Reactor). ChemicalReactor
further specializes chemdcat-ap's generic Reactor for catalysis use cases.

Concrete subclasses (FixedBedReactor, CSTR, PlugFlowReactor, …) specify
reactor geometry and operating mode.
Linked from Reaction via used_reactor (restricted to range: ChemicalReactor).		 no
StartingMaterial A ChemicalSubstance with that has a starting material role in a synthesis. no
ChemicalProduct A chemical substance that is produced by a ChemicalReaction. no

Properties

TODOs

  • Find out how to make this a subproperty of has_qualitative_attribute, as it currently throws the error 'physical_state enumerations cannot be inlined' due to the fact that we are using an enum here.
