[biofuel] Aleks 2 stage biodiesel process --- catalyst

2003-08-04 Thread fryjet

Have there been any comparisons done between NaOH and KOH as the 
catalyst?  I am interested in using KOH with the two-stage process 
because it is supposedly more agriculturally friendly when disposing 
of byproducts.  The recipe calls for 3.1-3.5g of NaOH per liter --- 
what would the equivalent amount of KOH be?

[biofuel] Aleks 2 stage biodiesel process --- temperature vs. mix time

2003-08-04 Thread fryjet

Is the 130F temperature a requirement for Second Stage, step 13 and 
beyond?  I'm interested to know if instead of raising the 
temperature to that level (difficult with my system), I could stir 
the mix for a longer period of time with similar results.  Bottom 
line: is there a time vs. temperature reaction table that describes 
the reaction rate at different temps?

[biofuel] Aleks 2 stage biodiesel process --- base stage reaction temperature

2003-08-04 Thread fryjet

Why is it is necessary to turn off the heat before adding the 
first half of the sodium methoxide, especially since it is 
recommended that the WVO be up to 130F before adding the rest of the 
sodium methoxide?

[biofuel] Aleks 2 stage biodiesel process --- temp & mixing questions...

2003-08-04 Thread fryjet

In the Foolproof two-stage process, the first Stage, step 4, 
indicates to heat the WVO to 95F.  Why is it necessary to let the 
WVO/methanol/H2SO4 mix at that temperature for only one hour while 
the recipe calls for a second hour or recommend unheated stirring?
