Abstract: The aim of the present work is to find a suitable solidifier for the manufacture of solid alcohol. Two series of experiments were made. In the first series, the solidifiers were prepared. from wood oil, lard, or resin with aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. In the second series, the solidifiers were made from stearic acid and solid sodium hpdroxide in various proportions. These experiments showed that the best solid alcohol is composed of I part stearic acid, 0.15 part solid sedium hydroxide and 20 parts 95 o/0 ethyl alcohol. The melting point, alcohol content and combus-tion residue of this solid alcohol are 61.5℃., 94.61% and 5.4% respectively

摘要： <正> 固体酒精,也称固化酒精,系将液体酒精加以适当的固化剂、使其固化.可供行军於荒漠地带或旅行野餐烹饪的燃料.此种固体酒精携带方便,不虑盛器的损坏而漏失,且应用便利无需酒精炉的设备.普通盛於马口铁听罐中,烹饪的时候开启盛器,以火柴点燃之即可.本试验结合目前的情况,力求制造手续及制造设备的简便,且顾及原料的低廉价格与其能否大量供应.故本试验所用的原料,酒精为95%(以容积计)的燃料酒精,又牛油,硬脂酸,氢氧化钠,虫胶等皆为商业级的化工原料.
