Hello Bias Antonio, Ken is right, the NaOH dissolves a lot quicker in ethanol if heated. In order to make ethyl esters the quality of the reactants has to be high: ethanol min 99,5% pure and oil with a water content 500 ppm and a stochiometric surplus of ethanol of at least 75% and why not 100% ?

Jan, Wouldn't you expect that 500 ppm water would be picked up in any recovered ethanol, due to even a small amount of soap production? also if the ethanol used is for automobile use, is it an E-85 blend, ie, 15% gasoline? If so I would think that the gasoline would partition into any

A small amount of gasoline in the biodiesel shouldn't affect it too much. Some of the crazy schemes for using unheated SVO call for mixing it with 15% gasoline or such. While I don't think this is necessarily good for the diesel engine, the majority of the problems I have heard of from doing

Hello Bob, yes, you are right, recovered ethanol will likely contain 500 ppm of water. This ethanol can then possibly only be used in small portions for forward production of ethyl esters. It is however important to find out the purity of the recovered ethanol before any conclusions can be drawn.

Hi Bob, I often add about 0.5% gasoline to my oil before I begin the transesterification process, usually in extremely humid or damp weather. Not scientific at all, really, but the gasoline 'polishes' the used oil a bit, and the benzene content seems to remedy the moisture content which could
