  2. Glycerol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol

    Triglyceride 3 NaOH / H 2 O Δ 3 × soap 3 × glycerol Triglycerides can be saponified with sodium hydroxide to give glycerol and fatty sodium salt or soap. Typical plant sources include soybeans or palm. Animal-derived tallow is another source. From 2000 to 2004, approximately 950,000 tons per year were produced in the United States and Europe; 350,000 tons of glycerol were produced in the U ...

  3. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    Antifreeze proteins bind to small ice crystals to inhibit growth and recrystallization of ice that would otherwise be fatal. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Cryoprotectants are commonly used in cryobiology to prevent or inhibit freezing in sperm, blood, stem cells, plant seeds, etc. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerol (all used in ...

  5. Cooling bath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_bath

    Cooling baths are generally one of two types: (a) a cold fluid (particularly liquid nitrogen, water, or even air) — but most commonly the term refers to (b) a mixture of 3 components: (1) a cooling agent (such as dry ice or ice); (2) a liquid "carrier" (such as liquid water, ethylene glycol, acetone, etc.), which transfers heat between the ...

  6. Cold hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_hardening

    Glycerol is a non-ionic kosmotrope forming powerful hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The hydrogen bonds in the glycerol compound compete with the weaker bonds between the water molecules, interrupting ice crystal formation. [7] This reaction between glycerol and water has been used as an antifreeze in the past. Proteins also play a large ...

    The following compounds are liquid at room temperature and are completely miscible with water; they are often used as solvents. Many of them are hygroscopic.

  9. Cold finger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_finger

    Another version involves filling the device with a cold material (examples: ice, dry ice or a mixture such as dry ice/acetone or ice/water). [ 1 ] Typically a cold finger is used in a sublimation apparatus , [ 2 ] or can be used as a compact version of a condenser in either reflux reaction or distillation apparatus.
