Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
Reagent A ChemicalSubstance that is consumed or transformed in a ChemicalReaction. no
DissolvingSubstance A liquid ChemicalSubstance that dissolves or that is capable of dissolving a ChemicalSubstance. no
PlugFlowReactor Plug flow reactor (PFR) — a tubular reactor in which reactant composition
varies along the axis with no axial mixing.
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
MaterialSample A Sample that was derived from a previous MaterialSample or some other kind of MaterialEntity. no
Precursor A MaterialSample that serves as input material in a catalyst Synthesis.
Precursors are consumed or transformed during the preparation process.
no
PolymerSample A SubstanceSample derived from a Polymer. no
Microreactor Microreactor — a miniaturised flow reactor with characteristic dimensions
in the sub-millimetre range, enabling precise thermal control and rapid
screening.
no
ChemicalProduct A chemical substance that is produced by a ChemicalReaction. no
Reactor A reactor is a container for controlling a biological or chemical reaction or process. no
Autoclave Autoclave reactor — a sealed pressure vessel for batch reactions at
elevated temperature and/or pressure.
no
FixedBedReactor Fixed bed reactor — a tubular reactor packed with a stationary catalyst bed.
The most common reactor type in heterogeneous catalysis testing.
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
Catalyst A ChemicalSubstance or MaterialEntity that initiates or accelerates a ChemicalReaction without itself being affected. no
CSTR Continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) — a well-mixed, continuous-flow
reactor operating at steady state.
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
SubstanceSample A MaterialSample derived from a chemical substance that is of interest in an analytical procedure. no
StartingMaterial A ChemicalSubstance with that has a starting material role in a synthesis. 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
ElectrochemicalReactor Electrochemical reactor used in electrocatalytic experiments, including
H-cells, flow cells, and membrane electrode assemblies.
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
MaterialEntity A material is an Entity that has some portion of matter as proper part. no
FluidizedBedReactor Fluidized bed reactor — a reactor in which the catalyst particles are
suspended in an upward-flowing gas or liquid stream.
no
SlurryReactor Slurry reactor — a three-phase reactor in which catalyst particles are
suspended in a liquid phase through which gas is bubbled.
no
