Hello all. Need some explanation and advise here on my experiments please.
I have been using virgin cooking palm oil for the experiments. When
following the steps for checking on quality, I put in 150ml of de ionised
battery water and 150ml of the biodiesel obtained but the end result was
clear yellowish liquid on top and white emulsion like on the bottom. I have
done 3 different batches with the same result. My further reading and guess
is either the NaOH is too much/little or the methanol is too much/little.
My next step will probably to increase the methanol from 200ml to 400ml (my
batches are in 1 liter of new oil). Any comments or suggestions from the
gurus out there?
Can I continue with the bubble washing process with the above 3 test
batches?
Jeff
