Hello to all.
Question: If wvo is dried by boiling off water, can the acid stage
be
undertaken once oil temp. falls below boiling point of
methanol?
thats what a lot of people do
Does higher
temp. affect esterification in any positive or negative way?
Faster reaction. Above 140F you'd want to be using a
pressurised vessel so as to keep methanol liquid, or (I think)
use a reflux mechanism in your processsor. For homebrew I
like using the low temp in Aleks' instructions since it works quite
fine (the reaction speed) and I like not having to use extra energy.
since I have that extra insulation I keep talking about, it takes very
little electricity to heat oil to 35 C and then my processor holds
that temperature for several hours with no additional heating.
