Re: [Biofuel] NaOH vs. KOH - Start to end
Hi At 21:58 25.12.05, you wrote: Vaklin, For now I'm living in the jungle, my friend. I'm sure the day when I'll take care about the environment will come soon, but when, nobody knows. I really hope I didn't hear that right. Just what do you propose to do with the glyc cocktail after it settles out of the reaction? Dump it and then the stormwater runoff take it downstream? Wouldn't that be in someone else's drinking water? BTW explain me please (for a future use) if I do my batches with KOH and live in white country White country? Only whities have access to KOH? I really hope I didn't hear that right either I can buy KOH in any quantity. Not this is the goal. White country is a country like USA, Canada, EU etc. where citizens behavior is adequate and salary is adequate too. In these countries is normal to use more environment suitable components and take care about waste products. In another countries called countries from third world important is survive ... how I can save some money. Exactly difference between NaOH and KOH for 1m3 fresh oil is 7.14kg vs. 10kg. In money this means, 5BGN vs. 25BGN. This math doesn't quite fit. A 100% compliment of NaOH per liter of oil costs 5 monetary units and an amount of KOH that performs the same function costs 400% more? Double perhaps (1.4 x 1.0 plus a markup for inventory of a perhaps less widely used status). Again try to explain: 1kg NaOH - 0.70 units 1kg KOH - 2.5 units 2.5 / 0.7 = 3.57 times in price for each kg. 3.57 x 1.4 = 4.998 times in total cost for 100% KOH 4.998 + 10% = 5.4978 times in total cost for 90% KOH. Here KOH is 91-92 % purity. You need to search out your sources whenever and wherever possible, especially if your monetary resources are tight. KOH is a market standard almost anywhere. Divide to 1000 liter I get 0,02 BGN extra cost per liter or about 1.5% up in final price. To cover this extra charge I should have: 1. Fast reaction time. Electricity costs money and no small money. Reaction times are equal. So no profit from here... or 2. Somebody who are ready to pay for waste products. I don't know exactly where is the difference between waste products from sodium and potassium. The recovered NaOH is in the form of sodium phosphate, or worse yet, sodium sulfate. Realistically, neither have any retrievable value. The recovered KOH would be in the form of potassium phosphate, or at worst, potassium sulfate. The former is a fertilizer. How much it's worth per pound is determined by your own marketplace. As for any perception of increased cost by including FFA using phosphoric acid? You have to ask yourself just what price you're already paying for petroleum fuel. If a $20.00 expense can net a 25 gallon savings...? I'll let you do the math. Petroleum diesel here is 1.60-170 BGN for small quantities and -10, 14% for bulk. So, if my is with total cost without the profit up from 1.00-1.05 BGN no reason to do them at all. Again nature and environment are out from calculation. Ideas how to reach something from these points? Yes.

Re: [Biofuel] NaOH vs. KOH - Start to end
Hi! At 18:29 24.12.05, you wrote: Hello Vaklin My personal opinion, not sure I'm right or not... + KOH dissolves in seconds in CH3OH Some of it does, but it takes about 10 minutes or more to dissolve what you'd use to make a batch. o The process has not faster than one with NaOH No, and also it's not slower. - KOH here is 3 times expensive than NaOH Are you sure? People have said such things but when they had a better look they usually managed to get it for about the same unit price (though you use more), including at least one person in East Europe. Will give prices in BGN (native currency $1.64 = 1BGN) NaOH 0.70 BGN without VAT; KOH 2.50 BGN without VAT. Have found the place where can buy for approx 1.50 BGN, but should drive 300km. - You should use approximately 1.5 times (in grams) more KOH Why give only an approximate figure for how much catalyst to use? If it's not accurate it's useless, or worse. You need to use 1.4 times as much (1.4025), and you also have to adjust it for purity. For accurate information please see: More about lye http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#lye I have wrote approximately. Exactly the value is as you said. For 250 ml fresh rape oil I have used 2.5g KOH or 1.78 gram NaOH. With these values I have got excellent esterification in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Every time I'm awaiting 30 minutes more. Temperature is constant, 58 degrees Celsius. - Washing after KOH is more difficult. For me 4-5 washes vs. 3. I think most people have the opposite experience, easier washes. Maybe .. Probably they use better water than mine from kitchen pipe. - KOH accepts very faster H2O from the air. From this comes more expensive holding. We used NaOH for years and switched to KOH more than two years ago, we've used a lot of it since then, we live in a humid place and we haven't seen any difference in absorption. And you know every day real water contents? I'm sure KOH is useable too... - I have expected 100% esterification with KOH, but unfortunately I have got the same ester/glycerin ratio as with NaOH. Conversion never reaches 100% completion. I know, but have read some documents where in closed reactor with 70 degrees Celsius and KOH they has reached 100%. So KOH doesn't cover my hopes. But you seem to have hoped for some odd things. No, just better self value for the product. All this I get from few 200 ml test batches from fresh rape oil. Keep going, good luck.
