[biofuel] Re: source for sulfuric acid
Thanks for pointing out Thomas Register. I found a company that will ship H3SO4 to me at a reasonable price.

Hello Mark. You wrote about sulfuric acid "sulfuric acid drain cleaner. It comes in a variety of purities, and it's hard to know exactly what you got." The concentration of the sulfuric acid could be determinated in a symple way using its density. A volumetric flask, a single decimal balance and a calculator will do the job or for a fast response, an specific gravity hydrometer graduated for the range you are intersted in and a themometer, they are cheaper and safer to avoid any dangerous drop. Tritation will tells you about its concentration as well. Some density and concentration from Merk of the shelf reagens: Density Concentration Merck article number 1.18 Kg/litre = 25%100716 1.30 Kg/litre = 40% 209286 1.82 Kg/litre = 90-91%100729 1.84 Kg/litre = 96% 100714 Sulfuric acid fuming with 30% SO3 for sulfonation synthesis 1.94 Kg/litre = over 100% 100721 96 - 98% is the range of maximun concentrations normally abailable. Lots of physical and chemical data on Merck products at: http://www.merck.de http://www.chemdat.de They also provide free of charge (gratis) the ChemDAT - The Merck Chemical Database - on CD-ROM, full of usefull data on physical, chemical, safety, toxicological, prices, etc. I got mine recently.(it sounds like I were a salesman from that company, but I am not).

I have bought some from places like Home Depot as sulfuric acid drain cleaner. It comes in a variety of purities, and it's hard to know exactly what you got. It's in a quart bottle for $7. I have made two- stage acid base with it and have had some OK results and some not-so- OK results. I used titration after (and during) the acid stage and that made it possible to know when it wasn't 'working' as well as expected, which is a fixable problem (fixed by using more lye in the base stage in my case). You're better off with sulfuric of known purity, but I certainly have had it work out sorta allright with Bull Dozer drain cleaner and another brand. mark --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, "Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does any one know where I can get small quantities of sulfuric acid > in the Southeast U.S.?

[biofuel] Re: Source for Sulfuric Acid?
I have bought some from places like Home Depot as sulfuric acid drain cleaner. It comes in a variety of purities, and it's hard to know exactly what you got. It's in a quart bottle for $7. I have made two- stage acid base with it and have had some OK results and some not-so- OK results. I used titration after (and during) the acid stage and that made it possible to know when it wasn't 'working' as well as expected, which is a fixable problem (fixed by using more lye in the base stage in my case). You're better off with sulfuric of known purity, but I certainly have had it work out sorta allright with Bull Dozer drain cleaner and another brand. mark --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, "Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does any one know where I can get small quantities of sulfuric acid > in the Southeast U.S.?
