Triacetin is the organic compound with the formula C 3 H 5 (OCOCH 3) 3.It is classified as a triglyceride, i.e., the triester of glycerol with acetic acid. [6] It is a colorless, viscous, and odorless liquid with a high boiling point and a low melting point.
Rhenium is a silvery-white metal with one of the highest melting points of all elements, exceeded by only tungsten. (At standard pressure carbon sublimes rather than melts, though its sublimation point is comparable to the melting points of tungsten and rhenium.)
High purity glycerol (greater than 99.5%) is obtained by multi-step distillation; a vacuum chamber is necessary due to its high boiling point (290 °C). [7] Consequently, glycerol recycling is more of a challenge than its production, for instance by conversion to glycerol carbonate [14] or to synthetic precursors, such as acrolein and ...
The element with the lowest boiling point is helium. Both the boiling points of rhenium and tungsten exceed 5000 K at standard pressure; because it is difficult to measure extreme temperatures precisely without bias, both have been cited in the literature as having the higher boiling point. [11]
Because of its high boiling point and affinity for water, ethylene glycol is a useful desiccant. Ethylene glycol is widely used to inhibit the formation of natural gas clathrates (hydrates) in long multiphase pipelines that convey natural gas from remote gas fields to a gas processing facility. Ethylene glycol can be recovered from the natural ...
The high boiling point of sodium allows the reactor to operate at ambient (normal) pressure, [80] but drawbacks include its opacity, which hinders visual maintenance, and its strongly reducing properties. Sodium will explode in contact with water, although it will only burn gently in air.
