A detailed account <strong>of</strong> the "Metallic Glycer-<br />

oxidee. Metallic Glycerinates, <strong>and</strong> Esters"<br />

may be foiind in Vol I <strong>of</strong> Lewkowitsch, Fifth<br />

Ed., Pages 261 to 262.<br />

<strong>Glycerol</strong> dissolves caustic alkalies,<br />

alkaline earths, <strong>and</strong> lead oxide to form<br />

chemical compounds. (Chevreul.) Lime, strontia,<br />

<strong>and</strong> baryta are precipitated nearly completely<br />

from such solutions by carbon dioxide, a small<br />

quantity only <strong>of</strong> the earths escaping precip-<br />

itation. In the presence <strong>of</strong> caustic alkalies,<br />

glycerol also dissolves ferric oxide, cupric<br />

oxide, <strong>and</strong> bismuth oxide, owing to the form-<br />

ation <strong>of</strong> soluble metallic glyceroxides.<br />

However the following oxides are reduced to<br />

metals when heated with alkaline glycerol<br />

solution. (Bullenheimer.<br />
