The unit consumption of glycerol raw materials refers to the amount of chemical raw materials consumed per ton of glycerol. Due to the different calculation methods of each production unit, such as the concentration of physical products, some are calculated by 95% (industrial grade) and some by 98.5% (medicinal grade).The calculation benchmarks are different, some are based on the physical quantity of raw materials, some are based on the physical quantity of raw materials converted to 100%, so their unit consumption values are very different, and can not be compared among the various units in the industry. For this reason, the soap industry stipulates that FeCl3 is converted into 100% by physical content, HCl is 31%, NaOH is converted into 100% by physical content, and activated carbon is calculated by physical content.
Glycerol Conversion Formula
100% glycerol (t) ÷ 98.5% = medicinal glycerol (t)
100% glycerol (t) ÷ 95% = industrial glycerol (t)
Formula for Calculating Unit Consumption of FeCl3
FeCl3 Physical quantity (kg) × Actual content (%) ÷ Conversion of Medicinal (or Industrial) Glycerol = 100%FeCl3 unit consumption(kg/t)
Formula for calculating unit consumption of hydrochloric acid
31%Industrial hydrochloric acid(kg)÷Conversion of Medicinal (or Industrial) Glycerol = 31% Unit consumption of hydrochloric acid(kg/t)
Formula for calculating unit consumption of NaOH
NaOH physical quantity(kg)×Actual content(%)÷Conversion of Medicinal (or Industrial) Glycerol=100%NaOH unit consumption(kg/t)
Formula for Calculating Unit Consumption of Activated Carbon
Activated carbon physical quantity/Conversion of Medicinal (or Industrial) Glycerol = Unit Consumption of Activated Carbon(kg/t)
