The autoclave was invented by Charles Chamberland in 1879, [3] although a precursor known as the steam digester was created by Denis Papin in 1679. [4] The name comes from Greek auto-, ultimately meaning self, and Latin clavis meaning key, thus a self-locking device. [5] Video demonstrating how autoclaves work
Solvothermal synthesis is a method of producing chemical compounds, in which a solvent containing reagents is put under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave. Many substances dissolve better in the same solvent in such conditions than at standard conditions , enabling reactions that would not otherwise occur and leading to new compounds ...
Tyndallization is a process from the nineteenth century for sterilizing substances, usually food, named after its inventor John Tyndall, that can be used to kill heat-resistant endospores. Although now considered dated, it is still occasionally used. [citation needed]
Because of the relatively low temperature used, AAC blocks are not considered to be a fired brick but a lightweight concrete masonry unit. After the autoclaving process, the material is stored and shipped to construction sites for use. Depending on its density, up to 80% of the volume of an AAC block is air. AAC's low density also accounts for ...
The closure is the most important element of the autoclave. Many designs have been developed for seals, the most famous being the Bridgman seal. In most cases, steel-corroding solutions are used in hydrothermal experiments. To prevent corrosion of the internal cavity of the autoclave, protective inserts are generally used. These may have the ...
Microorganisms growing on an agar plate. Sterilization (British English: sterilisation) refers to any process that removes, kills, or deactivates all forms of life (particularly microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, spores, and unicellular eukaryotic organisms) and other biological agents (such as prions or viruses) present in fluid or on a specific surface or object.

Polymerization in an autoclave is a technique which allows laminates with the best mechanical properties to be obtained, but it is the most expensive and permits only the use of open moulds. The advantage is due to the fact that the pressure helps to bond the composite layers and to eject air inclusions and volatile products, increasing the ...
Out of autoclave (OOA) is a process that achieves the same quality as an autoclave but through a different process. [1] OOA curing achieves the desired fiber content and elimination of voids by placing the layup within a closed mold and applying vacuum, pressure, and heat by means other than an autoclave.
