It is used to make antifreeze, antifreeze fluid, etc. It is also used as a moisturizer and hygroscopic agent in cosmetics, leather, tobacco, textiles, etc. It is an important organic chemical raw material, which can generate glycerol aldehyde and glyceric acid through oxidation reaction, and can generate propylene glycol through reduction reaction. It is also used to make nitroglycerin, alkyd resin and fat resin. The second stage is to react ricinoleic acid with NaOH solution in the presence of phenol flux, and then to prepare disodium salt of sebacic acid through high temperature cracking reaction.
