perform a titration with each on equal amounts of vinegar. The difference in volume will tell you how to adjust your formula. JJJN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello everyone,I just got 50 #s of KOH for next to nothing. It is in flake form but it is carbonated to some extent (unkown). I have some
Why "wash" it out? Why not evaporate it and recover it, even as small
a value as it is, rather than flush it with the wash water?
Actually, that's what I was asking about when I mentioned distilling the BD. Do you have the apparatus you are talking about? It sounds like a rather complicated
I could be wrong, but I wonder when Joshua last made biodiesel. Have a look at this:http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/msg35652.htmlRe: [biofuel] Best Processer
Okay then, here's a question. Why don't you write a book? I mean you're a journalist,andjournalists write things.
I did notice that a lot of the chemistry in the book was wrong.
His main argument seemed to be against losing the energy in the methanol that was washed out. He does recommend not using BD with certain types of tubes, as the methanol will destroy it.
I am certainly planning on washing my BD, I
The JTF website strongly recommends washing and the Josh Tickell book seems to suggest it isn't necessary and possibly even detrimental. I'm interested in some insight on this difference of opinion. I'm sure most experienced biodieselers here wash their biodiesel.
Would it be worthwhile to
I would not be surprised if China and the U.S. end up in a war over oil. China has less oil than we do, but they are essentially the ones pushing up the demand for it. Granted they aren't driving SUVs, but they've got a lot of people over there and they are getting more of a middle class.Keith
The chemical kinetics of fire is not understood very well. Smoking a cigarette will produce thousands of intermediate radicals, which will lead to thousands of end products, many of which are harmful. Altering temperature and other variables will lead to different end products. So unless you have

yes, burning biodiesel creates carbon dioxide. Any internal combustion engine will produce carbon dioxide. But WVO, or even SVO is a renewable resource, unlike petrol. Biodiesel is not the holy grail, just one very tiny step along the way to being responsible.

If you entirely neglect friction, the only place the energy is being put to use is in acceleration and going up hills, so mpg wouldn't be a meaningful measure of what is going on. You might be able to measure something like speed per gallon. And the heat from the radiator can't be put to any good

I just joined. I am a chemistry teacher, and I've decided I'm going to start making biodiesel this summer. I ran some test batches this week, and I'm going to start on my reactor today.
I read in the archives an allusion to someone attempting to make a magnetic stir plate. I had the same idea
I haven't done much with biodiesel yet, but I can shed some light on pH meters vs. phenolphthalien(PHTH) from a chemist's perspective.
As acids become weaker, it is important to become more careful in the selection of a chemical indicator (such as PHTH), as the change in pH is much slower than it
