Nitrates of glycerol and similar alcohols.-In nitrating glycerine, glycol and similar alcohols, glycerine, &c. is introduced by a pipe 9 and nitrating acid through openings 7 into a current of reacting mixture circulating between a reaction chamber 4 and a cooling chamber 5 separated by a partittion which may be formed of cooling tubes 3 placed closed together. Excess of the reaction mixture overflows through the outlet 2. The circulation is maintained by a stirrer 6 or by injection of air. The cooling-chamber 5 may be tubes through which cooling medium is circulated or may be arranged so that the reaction mixture passes through tubes surrounded by a cooling medium.
