Glycerine

Glycerine is a common ingredient in most of body lotions, Gels, cream and cosmetics. It is a colourless, odourless, viscous and non toxic liquid which have sweet in taste.

Chemical formation of glycerine

Chemically glycerine is a tri-hydric alcohol. It consists 3 -OH group. It's chemical name is 'Propane-1,2,3-triol'. Chemical formula is C₃H₈O₃_.

Manufacturing of glycrine

Glycerine produced from animal and plant sources. it is the side product in the most of reaction like saponification hydrolysis etc.

The crude glycerol produced from hydrolysis of triglyceride. Which can be purified by activated carbon from the organic impurities. All animals and plants are good source of triglyceride.

Uses of glycerine

Glycerine is most useful chemical which use various chemical industries and also in daily life. Most of common use of glycerine are

Use in food industry

Glycerine is treated as humectants, solvent and sweetner in food industry. it is used as food preservatives and its water solution also used in the preservation of leaves. It is the best replace of the sugar it contain more energy than sugar and does not cause of dental cavity it is also used as a thickener in most of liquor.

Medical uses

Glycerol is used in medical, pharmaceutical and personal care application. It used in improving smoothness, providing lubrication, and as a humectant. It is found in allergen immunotherapies, cough syrups, elixirs and expectorants, toothpaste, mouthwashes, skin care products, shaving cream, hair care products, soaps, and water-based personal lubricants.

Glycerol is also used in blood banking to preserve red blood cells prior to freezing.

What is Holography | Basic Principle of Holography | Sci-Talks | Shivam Dhyani

What is Holography Holography is a technique that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later reconstructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images, but it also has a wide range of other applications. In principle, it is possible to make a hologram for any type of wave. Gabor, who invented holography in 1947, introduced the term using two Greek words: “Holos” - whole and “Graphe” - writing. It simply means that the recorded holographic image of the object contains whole optical information about the object – Amplitude and Phase information of the light scattered from the object. Ideally, the hologram is a three-dimensional image reproduced from an interference pattern recorded by coherent light beans and holography is a process of reconstructing and writing a hologram. White light from the sun or a light bulb is a combination of every color of light in the spectrum, which is not useful for a hologram. However, a laser shine...

How AC (Air Conditioners) Work | Air Conditioning | Refrigeration technology |

Imagine a day of sunny summer and you are walking on the road then you are realize the importance of your AC and say thanks to your AC. Air conditioner work on interesting technology to keep our room chilled. it use some physical laws of thermodynamics to removing heat from the air inside the room. Air conditioner Photo Credit : coolingcitycenter.in Air Conditioner work efficiently to cool the indoor air quickly, but it consume more electric power to do their job. its work under the basic physical laws which says 'the heat is absorbed during the phase transfer of the refrigerant material. Phase Conversion : the physical state of the material is changes by absorbing the heat from outside atmosphere by virtue of temperature difference between them. this change in physical state by absorbing heat is called the phase conversation or phase transformation. Example : the piece of ice melt on your palm by absorbing heat from you body, absorbed heat...

Why the Earth revolving around the Sun? And Why the earth also spinning around it's own axis?

Hey friends, Today we learn about another interesting topic about revolving of the earth around sun and spinning around it's own axis. From primary class to higher class we learn that earth revolving around the sun. And spinning around own axis which cause to happening day and night. But you ever thinking why its happen? In this article we trying to find out the answer of following questions. Why the Earth (or planets) moves around the sun? Is the sun really positioned in the center of solar system? Why the Earth spinning around own axis? When till the Earth spinning? W hy the Earth (or planets) moves around the sun? Every object in the space is moving continuously with relative to its nearest heavier mass object. Earth is also moves around the sun. There are two famous theories behind this. rotation of earth around the sun * First according to Isaac Newton the Earth moves around the sun because the higher gravitational force act on ...
