Hi, Just a passing thought. Vacuum recovered methanol at 50mBar boils at around 15-20'C. The water content ought to be quite low but methanol forms an azeotrope with water. Therefore, if the recovered methanol were mixed with CaO (quick lime) to remove the water content the soap producing element ie water plus Na+ ions and FFA, could be reduced.
Has anyone ever thought of using Avation grade Fullers Earth filters to remove the caustic surfactants from bio-diesel?
