Properties and stability

1. Colorless, transparent, odorless, viscous liquid with sweet taste and hygroscopicity. It is miscible with water, alcohols, amines and phenols in any proportion, and the aqueous solution is neutral. Soluble in 11 times of ethyl acetate and about 500 times of diethyl ether. Insoluble in benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, petroleum ether, oils, and long-chain fatty alcohols. It is flammable and can cause combustion and explosion when exposed to strong oxidants such as chromium dioxide and potassium chlorate. It is also a good solvent for many inorganic salts and gases. It is non-corrosive to metals and can be oxidized to acrolein when used as a solvent.

Chemical properties: esterification reaction with acid, such as esterification with phthalic acid to form alkyd resin. Transesterification occurs with esters. Reacts with hydrogen chloride to form chlorohydrins. There are two ways to dehydrate glycerol: intermolecular dehydration to obtain diglycerol and polyglycerol; intramolecular dehydration to obtain acrolein. Glycerol reacts with alkali to form alcoholate. Reacts with aldehydes and ketones to form acetals and ketals. Oxidation with dilute nitric acid produces glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone; oxidation with periodic acid produces formic acid and formaldehyde. Contact with strong oxidants such as chromic anhydride, potassium chlorate or potassium permanganate can cause combustion or explosion. Glycerol can also play a role in nitration and acetylation.

2. Non-toxic. It is harmless even if the total amount of the dilute solution reaches 100g, and it is hydrolyzed and oxidized in the body to become a nutrient source. In animal experiments, it has the same anesthetic effect as alcohol when consumed in extremely large amounts.

3. Exists in flue-cured tobacco leaves, burley tobacco leaves, oriental tobacco leaves and smoke.

4. Naturally found in tobacco, beer, wine, and cocoa.

StorageHow to save

1. Store in a clean and dry place and pay attention to sealed storage. Pay attention to moisture, water and heat protection, and it is strictly forbidden to mix with strong oxidants. Can be stored in tin-plated or stainless steel containers.

2. Packed in aluminum drums or galvanized iron drums or stored in phenolic resin-lined storage tanks. During storage and transportation, it must be protected from moisture, heat and water. It is prohibited to put glycerol together with strong oxidants (such as nitric acid, potassium permanganate, etc.). Store and transport according to general regulations on flammable chemicals.

Synthesis method

The industrial production methods of glycerol can be divided into two categories: the method using natural oils as raw materials, and the resulting glycerin is commonly known as natural glycerin; the synthesis method using propylene as raw materials, the obtained glycerin Commonly known as synthetic glycerol.

1. Production of natural glycerin. Before 1984, glycerin was all recovered from the by-products of animal and vegetable fat soap making. Until now, natural oils and fats are still the main raw materials for the production of glycerol. About 42% of the natural glycerin in the base comes from soap by-products, and 58% comes from fatty acid production. Saponification reaction of fats and oils in soap making industry. The saponification reaction product is divided into two layers: the upper layer mainly contains sodium salts of fatty acids (soap) and a small amount of glycerol, and the lower layer is waste alkali liquid, which is a dilute glycerol solution containing salts and sodium hydroxide, generally containing 9-16% of glycerol and inorganic salts. 8-20%. Grease reaction. Glycerin water (also called sweet water) obtained by hydrolysis of oil and fat has a higher glycerin content than soapmaking waste liquid, about 14-20%, and inorganic salts of 0-0.2%. In recent years, continuous high-pressure hydrolysis has been widely used. The reaction does not use a catalyst. The resulting sweet water generally does not contain inorganic acid, and the purification method is simpler than that of spent alkali. Whether it is soap-making waste liquid or glycerol water obtained by hydrolysis of oil, the amount of glycerol is not high, and they all contain various impurities. The production process of natural glycerin includes purification and concentration to obtain crude glycerol, as well as distillation, decolorization, and Deodorization refining process. This process is described in detail in some books and periodicals.

2. Production of synthetic glycerol The various pathways for synthesizing glycerin from propylene can be summarized into two major categories, namely chlorination and oxidation. Propylene chlorination method and propylene irregular acetic acid oxidation method are still used in industry.

(1) Propylene chlorination method This is the most important production method in synthetic glycerol. It includes four steps, namely high-temperature chlorination of propylene, hypochlorous acidification of chloropropene, Saponification of dichloropropanol and hydrolysis of epichlorohydrin. The hydrolysis of epichlorohydrin to glycerin is carried out at 150°C and 1.37MPa carbon dioxide pressure in an aqueous solution of 10% hydrogen oxide and 1% sodium carbonate to generate a glycerin aqueous solution containing sodium chloride with a glycerol content of 5-20%. After concentration, desalination and distillation, glycerin with a purity of more than 98% is obtained.

(2) Propylene peracetic acid oxidation method Propylene and peracetic acid react to synthesize propylene oxide, and propylene oxide isomerizes into alkene and propanol. The latter reacts with peracetic acid to generate glycidol (glycidol), which is finally hydrolyzed to glycerol. The production of peracetic acid does not require a catalyst. Acetaldehyde is oxidized with oxygen in the gas phase. Under normal pressure, 150-160°C, and a contact time of 24 seconds, the acetaldehyde conversion rate is 11% and the peracetic acid selectivity is 83%. The above-mentioned last two steps of reaction are carried out continuously in the reactive distillation tower with special structure. After the raw materials allyl alcohol and ethyl acetate solution containing peracetic acid are sent into the tower, the tower still is controlled at 60-70°C and 13-20kPa. The ethyl acetate solvent and water are evaporated from the top of the tower, and a glycerol aqueous solution is obtained from the tower still. This method has high selectivity and yield, uses peracetic acid as the oxidant, does not require a catalyst, has a fast reaction speed, and simplifies the process. The production of 1 ton of glycerin consumes 1.001t of allyl alcohol, 1.184t of peracetic acid, and 0.947t of acetic acid as a by-product. At present, the output of natural glycerin and synthetic glycerin accounts for almost 50% each, while the propylene chlorination method accounts for about 80% of Hezhi’s glycerol output. my country’s natural glycerin accounts for more than 90% of the total output.

3. Dilute the industrial grade glycerin with 1/2 the amount of distilled water. After stirring thoroughly, add activated carbon and heat to 60~70℃ for decolorization, and then vacuum Filter to ensure the filtrate is clear and transparent. Control the dripping speed, and add the filtrate into the column of the pre-processed mixture of 732 strong acid cation resin and 717 strong alkali anion and cation resin to adsorb and remove electrolytes and non-electrolyte impurities such as aldehydes, pigments, and esters in glycerol.
The glycerin solution after removing impurities is distilled under reduced pressure, and the vacuum degree is controlled to be above 93326Pa. The kettle temperature is between 106 and 108°C. After steaming out most of the water, the kettle temperature is raised to 120°C for rapid dehydration. When no water comes out, the heating is stopped. The materials in the kettle are the finished products.
