    1. Colorless, transparent, odorless, viscous liquid with sweet taste and hygroscopicity. It is miscible with water and alcohols, amines and phenols in any proportion, and the aqueous solution is neutral. Soluble 11 times in ethyl acetate and about 500 times in diethyl ether. Insoluble in benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, petroleum ether, oils, and long-chain fatty alcohols. It is flammable and can cause combustion and explosion when it encounters strong oxidants such as chromium dioxide and potassium chlorate. It is also a good solvent for many inorganic salts and gases. It is non-corrosive to metals and can be oxidized to acrolein when used as a solvent.
    Chemical properties: Esterification reaction with acid, such as esterification with phthalic acid to generate alkyd resin. Transesterification occurs with the ester. Reacts with hydrogen chloride to form chlorohydrins. There are two ways to dehydrate glycerol: intermolecular dehydration to obtain diglycerin and polyglycerol; intramolecular dehydration to obtain acrolein. Glycerol reacts with a base to form an alcoholate. Reacts with aldehydes and ketones to form acetals and ketals. Oxidation with dilute nitric acid produces glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone; oxidation with periodic acid produces formic acid and formaldehyde. Contact with strong oxidants such as chromic anhydride, potassium chlorate or potassium permanganate can cause combustion or explosion. Glycerin can also perform nitrification and acetylation.
    2. Non-toxic. It is harmless to drink a total amount of 100g of dilute solution, and it will be oxidized after being hydrolyzed in the body to become a nutrient source. In animal experiments, if it is drunk in large quantities, it has the same anesthetic effect as alcohol.
    3. Exist in flue-cured tobacco leaves, burley tobacco leaves, spiced tobacco leaves, and smoke.
    4. Naturally found in tobacco, beer, wine, and cocoa. [2]
    1. Store in a clean and dry place, pay attention to sealed storage. Pay attention to moisture, water and heat, and do not mix with strong oxidants. Can be stored in tinned or stainless steel containers.
    2. Packed in aluminum drums or galvanized iron drums or stored in storage tanks lined with phenolic resin. It must be moisture-proof, heat-proof and waterproof during storage and transportation. Do not put glycerin with strong oxidants (such as nitric acid, potassium permanganate, etc.). Store and transport in accordance with general flammable chemical regulations. [2]
