Can anyone spot flaws in my theory? Greg H. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Harbican To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2004 10:14 Subject: [biofuel] Making Methanol from Glycerin ( was Re: Biodiesel Glycerin-to-Methanol Condensor plans )
You know, I wasn't fully awake and definitely was not tracking correctly when I first read the subject line, but, I think that it was probably a good thing. What I read was Biodiesel Glycerin-to-Methanol ( totally missed the condenser part ), and was thinking that here was a idea that allowed people to use the glycerin by-product to make methanol. When I read the message, I realized that I had made a mistake, but, thinking about that mistake, I thought that it might just be possible. Now I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but, does not water and glycerin mix well? Then if that is the case, the solution would be a water / hydrogen & carbon solution, similar to that of sugar water, which according to Walt Patrick mentioned can be used to produce Syn Gas, then converted to methanol. Please, let me know your thoughts about this possibility. Greg H. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
