I was going to mention it, but the idea of using KOH for a base catalyst and phosphoric acid as the acid catalyst means that you have K3PO4 which is fertilizer and since it would be in aqueous form mixed with the glycerol/water layers, you could make compost with grass clippings, etc... who

Keith asks: Why not recover the methanol at the end of the processing stage, before settling? Still warm, it's all there, so just heat it up a bit more (to 65 deg C) and distill it off through a simple condenser. Isn't that what most people are doing who're recovering their methanol? Don't
