The method of making triacetin
Where you want to make triacetin, you should first prepare all the ingredients. You need to take an appropriate amount of glycerin, which is the key thing, and its quality must be pure. You also need to prepare acetic acid. The concentration of acetic acid is also related to the quality of the product, so choose it carefully.

When making, put a clean container to prevent sparks and dust from entering. Pour glycerin into the container first, slowly inject acetic acid, note slowly, and stir constantly to make the two blend evenly.

Then, put a heating device under the container, but the heating should not be too fierce, and when it is gradually baked with a gentle fire. In the meantime, pay close attention to the change of temperature, so that the temperature is constant at a suitable degree, about [X] degrees Celsius is better. In this way, the reaction between glycerin and acetic acid can be promoted.

When the reaction is completed, it is normal to have bubbles or odor. After the reaction is completed, take a cooling method to make the product gradually cool. Then use a suitable filter to filter out the impurities in it, and the remaining liquid is close to triacetin.

However, this is not a finished product, and it must be purified again. The method of distillation can be used, and the crude product is placed in a still and distilled at a controlled temperature. Discard the initial distillation liquid and collect the middle fraction, which is the pure triacetin.

To make triacetin, every step needs to be fine, the material is pure, the temperature is accurate, and the operation is careful to get the best product.
