Glycerol boils at 290oC with slight decomposition. Impure glycerine can be purified by[CPMT 1983, 94]
Vacuum distillation
The liquids which decompose at its boiling point can be purified by vacuum distillation. Glycerol which decomposes at its boiling point (-563K) can be distilled without decomposition at 453K under 12mm Hg pressure.
