Abstract

Conclusions Glycerol distribution in the curd and lye layers approaches a ratio, as the electrolyte strength increases, in which the glycerol concentration in the water of the lye layer is about 1.3 times the glycerol concentration in the water of the curd layer. A high distribution ratio is conducive to a more effective glycerine recovery. Conditions for the most favorable glycerol distribution ratio are vigorous boiling on a hard grained curd for a sufficient length of time to assure thorough mixing. The yield of glycerol from the kettle was 95% exclusive of that in the neat soap.
