Abstract
In the previous paper, the yield of glycerine was found to be decreased by increasing the concentration of sodium hydroxide in hydrolysis of epichlorohydrin.In this paper, the velocity of element reactions in the hydrolysis of epichlorohydrin was investigated and was found that the ring opening of glycidol has major effect on glycerine synthesis.The hydrolysis of glycidol is the first order reaction with concentrated sodium carbonate, but is not so with a concentrated sodium hydroxide, and which facts are considered due to that there exists such a side reaction as polymerisation of glycidol in case of the latter. Viewed from this connection, it can be concluded that the decrease in the yield of glycerine reported in the previous paper depends on the side reaction occuring in the course of glycidol hydrolysis.
