Jan; Further to my post from yesterday regarding the 0.5% water in oil as a limit; I am assuming that this percentage relies on fairly anhydrous methoxide, and therefore is the maximum water that the process can tolerate. Is this a safe assumption? And if so would it be safe then to assume

I've noticed that the pumps in Kanada ( note: new spelling commensurate with Stephen Harper Gov't policies) have a label with fine print that say 'volume corrected to 15 degrees centigrade' or something to that effect. Isn't there a similar thing on the Amerikan pumps? Joe Kirk McLoren

Hi Jim; Yes I got a couple of hydrometers 0.79 to 0.90 range and rather than try to find calibration tables for temperature etc I decided the thing to do is take some fresh pure methanol and measure it's SG at room temperature (about 20 degrees C in my place) and then add some measured amounts

A few PPM of copper is a tall order! I wonder how many different metal ions are in waste oil when I get it? Now I am wondering about using my recovered methanol which is condensed in a copper tube on my reactor. It will certainly contain some copper but without a GC I don't know how much but I

Hi Jim; Ok I made up a graph by adding water one ml at a time to 90 ml of pure methanol. This was done at 23 degrees C which is the current temperature in my work area. The hydrometers are calibrated for 15 degrees so this is more practical for my purposes. As far as Bob's comment on what
