> Has anyone got any Methanol reclaiming details they could supply me? ...........
Ian, You will have to build yourself an evaporative condenser capable of maintaining a temp of 165 Fahrenheit, slightly above the boiling temp of methanol. It will consist of an airtight "pot" (except for the vaporous outlet port) of your desired volume, a heat source - open flame unadvisable due to immediate liquid and vaporous methanol - a drain valve for the residual glycerin, a fill valve for introducing the methanol laden glycerin, a continual vaporous outlet off the top of the pot into a cooling condenser, preferably water cooled. The cooling condenser's drain should be continuous into a "closed" collection container, same container having a vent tube extended well outside and above the building or considerably away from the activity (when outside) to vent off all methanol tainted vapors that are positively displaced from the final collection container. The closed system precludes almost entirely the introduction of water into the recovered methanol via atmospheric humidity. Check the pH of the glycerin and neutralize prior to utilizing the glycerin in further endeavors.
