That brings up something for me that I was just wondering about (being a
bucket chemist as well, and in fact a very ignorant one):
what are the reactants in saponification? Is water a catalyst or a reactant
there? Is there anything other than soap formed? What is the role of heat
in saponificat
Hi Marc,
*When is a catalyst not a catalyst?*
If your catalyst is partly consumed in the reaction you are promoting then
it is not, by definition, a catalyst! (Hence your use of quotes I presume)
In the case of methoxides, the problem is surely that they are consumed by
side reactions (notab

NaOH to make their biodiesel? I'm curious to try it out.

Europe has a strong "carbon sequestration" program. This program is starting
to develop in the USA and is being driven by many in the ag industry. We have
enough bio mass in the USA to provide much of our needed energy. Using biomass

Hi Jack,
Congratulations on your success. On the subject of jet engines, I spoke with
my local airport director and he pointed out that cold temps could be
problematic with biodiesel at altitude. I can't say if this is true but it
definitely needs to be a consideration. Good luck with your ventur

Is there anyone out there with a good
