Dick do you notice any difference in reaction rate with the pressure applied? Considering pressure cookers, autoclaves etc the aim seems to be to get the temperature higher than heating at atmospheric pressure would allow. ie boiling limits max temp. 15 psi with aqueous loads usually gives 121C. Every ten degree C temperature rise doubles the reaction rate. 2 bar should enable a higher temp/faster reaction rate as the methanol would have a higher boiling point under pressure. Using 50C are you gaining any advantage from the pressure? Now for a subject close to your heart and a timesaver for everyone. <Snipping.> The term has me confused. I usually highlight and delete non-relevant parts (perhaps I am cutting out too much). Is that the same as <Snipping> or is it another technique altogether? Snippers unite. Paul.
