What is glove box?
Glove box is a sealed container used to handle materials where a separate atmosphere is required.
The glove box is often used to protect workers from hazardous materials or to protect chemicals and materials that may be sensitive to air or water vapor.
Glove boxes can be used under
positive or negative pressure.
During chemical experiments,
harmful gases that are harmful to human health may often be released, seriously endangering the health of the experimenters and the atmosphere. Generally, in laboratory operations, people can use the installation of ventilation cabinets and other exhaust devices to avoid as far as possible the operator inhaling harmful gases. However, the current ventilation devices are only a ventilation function, cannot completely avoid harm to the human body, and cannot purify the treatment of harmful gases, so harmful gases are directly discharged outside, becoming a source of air pollution.
In view of the above shortcomings of the existing technology,
the glove box provides a chemical experiment with a
gas purification glove box to avoid human injury and pollution of the environment. Technical solutions to solve its technical problems are characterized by including a
glove box body, gas adsorption and purification device, glove box body made of high-quality 304 stainless steel and tempered glass, the box is equipped with a glove mouth and a sealed connection with the glove, integrated modular inlet, and outlet gas valve; gas adsorption and purification system; glove box body of the outlet valve through the induced draft fan and the gas adsorption and purification device of the said gas inlet through the hose Connected by hose.

Type of glove box
Box glove
Laboratory glove box is mainly used in laboratories to do various scientific experiments and the production of special products.
The glove box fills the box with high-purity and filters out the water, oxygen, organic gases, and other substances in it as laboratory equipment. It is also known as vacuum glove box, inert gas protection box, etc. Glove box is widely used in water-free, oxygen-free, dust-free ultra-pure environments, such as lithium-ion batteries and materials, semiconductors, supercapacitors, special lamps, laser welding, brazing, materials synthesis, OLED, MOCVD, etc., also includes biological applications, such as anaerobic bacteria culture, cellular hypoxia culture, etc. Not only that, there are many types of laboratory glove boxes.

Comparison with standard glove box
a. The main difference between mini glove box and standard glove box is that the structure is compact, small and economical. The function and role are the same as the standard glove box.
b. The difference between a vacuum glove box and a standard glove box is that the main chamber of the vacuum glove box can be evacuated for operation with a vacuum of -1 bar, allowing for rapid gas replacement. Ordinary glove box is only the air will be pumped out, supplemented by high-purity inert gas to protect. If the addition of purification system, can meet the water oxygen ≤ 0.1ppm, so that the same role as the standard glove box.
Use of glove box
Glove compartments
Preparation
The following points need to be done before operating the glove box.
a. Check whether there is nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle, nitrogen should be replaced in time, and the output pressure of nitrogen is set to 0.5mpa.
b. Check whether the vacuum pump is opened normally.
c. Check whether the inner circulation of glove box is open (Purification column-I or purification column-II to open one of them).
d. Check the upper limit pressure in the setting should be +1 and the lower limit pressure should be 0.
e. Check whether the oxygen and dew point are normal (oxygen is below 0.1ppm, dew point is above -40).
f. Excess chamber vacuum pump should be in normally open state.
Operation
a. The vacuum pump should be kept open during the system work.
b. When the oxygen concentration in the box exceeds 200PPM, you should notify the equipment maintenance personnel to operate the system, otherwise, it will destroy the water and oxygen purification system.
c. Check if the case condition or regeneration is in progress before starting the cycle. If the mentioned above operation is in progresses then cycling is absolutely prohibited.
d. Two purification columns cannot be regenerated at the same time.
a) Before regeneration, make sure the glove box has been cleaned by inert gas (H2O<200ppm) to ensure sufficient supply of regeneration gas. The regeneration gas pressure is 0.06-0.08mpa.
b) Before starting regeneration, please make sure the corresponding purification column cycle is closed.
c) The regeneration process takes 24 hours and cannot be disconnected once it is performed. Adjust the pressure of regeneration gas to ensure the sufficient supply of regenerative gas in these 3 hours, and turn off the source of regenerative gas after the 6th hour.
d) The vacuum pump should not be turned off during the regeneration process, do not touch the top of the johkasou column to prevent burns.
e) Once the regeneration is accidentally terminated, please ensure that the regeneration and circulation of the purification column cannot be restarted within 12 hours otherwise the equipment will be damaged.
e. Care should be taken to protect the work gloves from being damaged during operation.
