Points taken Jim,
Am trying to simplify process as much as possible. Even tried methylated
spirits for methoxide against all advice (40% water) and ended up with a

Hi All,
For those who are reclaiming methanol what %
of the methanol do you get back? I assume vacuum
recovery method.
Thanks,

Paul my next batch will be with cotton seed oil. I intend to use the
twostage with KOH rather than NaOH. The best I can do with NaOH seems to be
80-85% pure, I suspect that leaves too much water to avoid soaps. I'll take
your advice and wash and dry it. I'll let you know how it goes. The oil

Paul, one vessel would be great, but poses (at first glance) two
problems:
Time and batch quantity, which is to say that you'd be producing a
smaller batch over a longer period of time. Sure, it's compact, but for a
garage operation I'd prefer a multi-barrel approach allo

Dale is right, recovered methanol is OK to re-use. I have found that from
biod made using 15% meth (v/v WVO), the glyc. yields 3% meth (v/v WVO) and
is well worth the trouble of simple distillation at 70 deg C. Probably will
use 20% in future for an easier life without unnecessary loss of costly
Dale,
Isn't there any loss of methanol during reaction? I am surprised that you
are recovering all that you use. Or did I mis-understand you?
