Hi, Recently I've came through problems with testing a cheap virgin oil in my test processor which every time ended up with incomplete reactions (emulsion problems). I did make the process longer (2 hours) and at higher temperature (60-63 degC) - still nothing, though by product separation is

Howdy Kirk, it's kind of hard to say. The published procedures for safely manufacturing the acetone peroxide does take cooling and way too much time; however, I wouldn't be surprised if throwing concentrated hydrogen peroxide, acetone and sulfuric acid together at room temperature might

I have heard tell of AP from the chemistry students (the naughty ones) here at work. From what I gather, the description is true, that it takes a good deal of time to precipitate out the final product making it problematic to produce in the confines of an airline flight. If it could be done

Dear Rafal, First of all, as long as you use cheap oil you should always be prepared to deal with much more FFA and water than it should normally contain. I think your emulsion problem occurs as a result of highly contained water. If that is the problem you should first dry the oil then
