Storage glycerine

The manufacture of fatty acid from fat is called fat splitting (B), and the process flow diagram is shown in Fig. 3. Washouts from the storage, transfer, and pretreatment stages are the same as those for process (A). Process condensate and barometric condensate from fat splitting will be contaminated with fatty acids and glycerine streams, which are settled and skimmed to recover... 

Sixth bath Pure glycerin preservation and storage of the fetuses. 

Sodium sulfide TS contains glycerin to stabilize and inhibit oxidation. The ability to produce sulfide is decreased with storage time. It is recommended that the fresh reagent solution should be used, especially for the quantitation test. Even if the reagent solution is refrigerated, it should be used within a couple of months. 

Safety" Gunpowder. A mixt of K chlorate and glycerine, presented before the Brit military authorities in 1888. It was not found acceptable because the ingredients partially separated in storage, resulting in an overly sensitive mixt Ref Daniel (1902), 760... 

The liquor from the first effect is then fed by gravity and by pressure difference to the second effect, which is under a slight vacuum (115 mm Hg absolute). There, it is concentrated to 80% for soap lyes or up to 88% for sweetwater crude (containing no salt) and then pumped to crude glycerine storage. 

A filter is used after the carbon columns to remove any carbon fines from the glycerine. The filter is typically a bag type using polypropylene or PTFE cloth bags with a pore size of 5-10 micron. The bleached and deodorized glycerine product is then sent to final storage for shipment. 

Dilute and crude glycerine contain certain amounts of suspended material (precipitates, salt, etc.) that tend to settle out during storage. Therefore, to avoid introducing these materials into the process when liquor is drawn, it is recommended to have discharge nozzles be approximately six inches above the bottom of the tank. It is necessary to empty and clean the storage tank(s) periodically. 

Stainless steel vessels or stainless-steel-lined vessels are recommended to prevent the formation of color complexes, especially if moisture or residual fatty acids are present in a carbon steel tank. Since glycerine is hygroscopic, care should be taken to exclude moisture from the refined glycerine storage tank. Glycerine subjected to heat should not be stored in vessels containing copper or tin, as copper or iron salts will catalyze oxidation of glycerine under those conditions (23). 

Losses are a natural part of any processing plant. The control and reduction of the losses will, in part, determine the economic effectiveness of the plant s operation. All areas of the glycerine recovery plant can produce losses. In storage, fermentation can cause serious losses of glycerine due to the formation of trimethylene glycol, gases, and acids during decomposition. 

Opening of equipment for maintenance can result in loss of product. Where possible, the liquid should be blown into the previous or next process vessel or drained back into a bucket for recovery. Any product that is recovered that is not badly contaminated can be returned to a separate storage tank upstream in the process. If a substandard or off-spec glycerine tank is provided in the refining section, it can be equipped with an easily removable cover. 

Lipase splits up fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerin. It is found in various mildews, molds and numerous oily seeds and other fatty-oil storage regions of higher plants. 

Glycerin is hygroscopic. Pure glycerin is not prone to oxidation by the atmosphere under ordinary storage conditions but it decomposes on heating, with the evolution of toxic acrolein. Mixtures of glycerin with water, ethanol (95%), and propylene glycol are chemically stable.
