Batch 1 1 litre SVO, 200ml methanol, app 3.5g sodium hydroxide method - food blender blended 1 hr results - high yield of presumably bio-diesel conclusion - need new blender Batch 2 10 Litres SVO, 2 litres methanol, app 35g sodium hydroxide method - custom made 'reactor' (drill and paint stirrer) 1 hr results - high yield but more soap ? conclusion - sodium methoxide mixed properly ? oil temperature ? batch 3 10 litres wvo, 1.5 litres methanol, app 49g sodium methoxide method - (2 base method)(The two-stage adaptation of Mike Pellyâs biodiesel recipe By Aleks Kac) results - strange thick gloop is this FAME ? stage 1 ? or has it gone badly wrong ? if it is fame how do I separate it ? conclusion - biodiesel isn't fun batch 4 2 litres wvo, 0.4 litres methanol, app 13g sodium methoxide method - large pan on ring, continual stirring - more care in mixing the sodium methoxide, better temperature control results - different stringy gloop setting on cooling with the exothermic reaction the mix hardly needed heating only dropping a few degrees in an hour - strands could be seen forming on inspection - strangely I have no desire to put any of these in my car methanol - I'm paying about £1.50 litre roughly $2.30 a litre. I am in the UK and have been unable to source lab supplies locally or at all for that matter as the companies I've approached won't deal on a small scale, hence the adoption of the 2 stage method (no titration) many thanks for any help _________________________________________________________________ Join the worldâs largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
