Thanks for your answer.
What other problems can it cause, exept for a bad start on cold mornings ?
I used 40 liters of phosphoric acid on 1000 liters of glop.
Of course first I made some mini batches to find out wether it would work
and figured out that I needed about 40 liters of 75% of acid.

I don't know much about viscosity. How can I measure it ? What should be the

Hi all,
I would like to give it another try to make ethanol from sawdust or other
cellulose materials.
In the past I have tried Sawdust ethanol production which I read somewhere
I think on JTF, but didn't succeed.
Well, IF I succeed this time, how can I now the % of ethanol and water ?

Hello all,
Maybe a silly question, but I cannot figure out how it works really.
As far as I understand, veg.oil exists out of a glycerol + 3 fatty acids,
like a head with 3 legs.
During the BD proces, we break off the legs, using NaOH, and connect a
methanol molecule on each leg.
When we break
Biodiesel is to lower the viscosity of the oil,
That isn't the only purpose in making biodiesel, lower viscosity is
only one aim.
what would happen if we used
just free fatty acids? Why won't that work?
It will work, but for how long?
From previous:
If you think viscosity is all that
Just a bit curious, since when and where did they start with highway tolls
in Sweden? Free city parking and special tax breaks, I did not read about
any revolutions in Sweden. LOL

Well, there is the bridge over to Denmark paid for by taxes with a one way
toll higher than a Ryan

The point of making biodiesel out of oil is not just to lower the viscosity,
but also to change the molecule structure,making the oil obtain more diesel
fuel-like properties. Frre fatty acids are a lot more difficult to combust,
and have (in general) higher melting points than the

Wow, -:) no wonder it is newsworthy. I would not really call the bridge a
highway in Sweden, but I did pay the bridge a few times. You are cheating
a little bit here.

that it already was approved. It was a lot of

Maybe a silly question,
They say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Not sure
about silly answers though ... But we aren't chemists and lots of
other people also aren't chemists, so let's see what we can make of
it and if it's silly maybe a kindly chemist will help us out.
