[Myristic acid purchase and supply] Production methods and uses of myristic acid

Myristic acid is a white to yellowish-white hard solid, sometimes Glossy crystalline solid, or white to yellowish-white powder. The relative density is 0.8739 (80℃), the melting point is 54.5℃, the boiling point is 326.2℃, and the refractive index (nD60) is 1.4310. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether and chloroform.

Myristic acid production method:

Mixed fatty acids or methyl esters of mixed fatty acids obtained from coconut oil and palm kernel oil can be produced by vacuum fractionation during drought. Get tetradecanoic acid.

Laboratory preparation can be performed by saponification of glycerol tritetradecanoyl ester and 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and then acidification with hydrochloric acid to obtain free tetradecanoic acid. It can also be prepared by the tetradecanol method.

Uses of myristic acid:

Used as chemical reagent, also used in the synthesis of spices and organic substances;

Used in manufacturing Emulsifiers, waterproofing agents, curing agents, polyvinyl chloride heat stabilizers and plasticizers are also raw materials for spices and medicines;

Mainly used as raw materials for the production of surfactants and for the production of sorbitol Anhydride fatty acid ester, glycerin fatty acid ester, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol fatty acid ester, etc. Chemicalbook can also be used to produce isopropyl myristate, etc. Also used as defoaming agent and flavoring agent. According to the regulations of my country’s GB2760-89, it can be used to prepare various edible spices;

Determination of calcium and magnesium in hard water. organic synthesis
