Re: [Biofuel] Seperating glycerine
You just add the total amount of NaOH in both batches. Usualy you know how much NaOH you used, so it does not matter if that is in 1 batch of more. The total amount of NaOH counts. Indicator ? Well, the ideal situation would be if you could get it to pH neutral, which is 7 At chemistry delivery companies they can advise you on that. If you don't know at all, you can also make trial and error batches in little glas tubes. I don'tn know the english word for it, but usualy like 20 milliliter. Start with say half a liter of your glycerin layer. Put 1 ml of acid in, shake very good en put 20 ml in the first tube. Than again 1 ml of acid in the half liter , mix very good and fill up the second tube. After maybe 10 or 20 tubes, let it sit on a warm place, wher separation goes easier. In this wayyou can figure out how much acid you need. Much easier would be : Keep track of the amount of NaOH you used and you can calculate how much acid you need. If I where you, I would try to get 98% H2SO4, which is by the way extremely dangerous stuff to work with, so be as carefull as possible. Phosporic acid is usually diluted and so you bring water in you mixture, which is what you probably dont want.

Not 40 grams40 grams is 1 mole. I hope I can give you an explaination in english, because I am from Holland :You start with the amount of NaOH you used to make your batch of BD.For example 5 kg for 800 liters of BD.So you use 5 kg NaOH, which you will all find back in the bottom layer residue. 1 mole of NaOH weighs 23 + 16 + 1 makes 40 grams.23 + 16 + 1 are the mole weights of the elements. You can find them in te periodic system of elements in every schoolbook of chemistry.Now you mix with phosphoric acid, but what percentage ? Phosphoric acid is H3PO4, which has a mole weight of (3x1) + 31 + (4x16) =98 gramsWhat you should try to reach is a complete reaction between the acid and the NaOHThe reaction would be : H3PO4 +NaOH -- Na3PO4 + H20 Now make it equal, so it gets to :H3PO4 + 3NaOH -- Na3PO4 + 3H2OIn grams :((3x1)+16+64) + (3x40) -- ((3x23)+16+64) + (3x18) - 203 = 203So the reaction is equal now.That means you need one mole of H3PO4 + 3 moles of NaOH to react completely and split your residue. As you will understand now, I hope, you need 98 grams of H3PO4 for every 40 grams of NaOH you used.Of course if you have a phosphoric acid of let's say 75%, it means that if you take 1 kilo of that, you have 750 grams of phosphoric acid.
