Re: [Biofuel] Question about BD

Maybe a silly question, They say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Not sure about silly answers though ... But we aren't chemists and lots of other people also aren't chemists, so let's see what we can make of it and if it's silly maybe a kindly chemist will help us out.

Re: [Biofuel] Questions about ethanol

Sorry I could be mistaken there is always something new to learn but do you mean methanol instead of ethanol. Methanol is otherwise known as wood alcohol and a small amount is formed during on the grain fermentation during the making of alcohol (Ethanol) beverages the Grain husks being the w

[Biofuel] Question about BD

Hello all, Maybe a silly question, but I cannot figure out how it works really. As far as I understand, veg.oil exists out of a glycerol + 3 fatty acids, like a head with 3 legs. During the BD proces, we break off the legs, using NaOH, and connect a methanol molecule on each leg. When we break off

Re: [Biofuel] A nice experience

Helllo Pedro. The point of making biodiesel out of oil is not just to lower the viscosity, but also to change the molecule structure,making the oil obtain more diesel fuel-like properties. Frre fatty acids are a lot more difficult to combust, and have (in general) higher melting points than the on

RE: [Biofuel] A nice experience

Biodiesel is to lower the viscosity of the oil, That isn't the only purpose in making biodiesel, lower viscosity is only one aim. what would happen if we used just free fatty acids? Why won't that work? It will work, but for how long? From previous: If you think viscosity is all that m
