Re: [Biofuel] A Revolution in American Nuclear Policy

Re: [Biofuel] A Revolution in American Nuclear Policy

Jason, I have to disagree with assumptions with respect to N. Korea. While North Korea and South Korea were talking about steps which could lead to re-unification and during the Clinton Presidency, North Korea was still developing the technology and infrastructure to build nuclear weapons.

If you follow up this logic, Today it is many in the world who hate Americans (not me). So if you find them uninvited on your territory, i.e. Iraq, it is ok to kill them? In this case they are more dangerous than cats, because the are trigger happy and can easily kill you by mistake. As a result

Re: [Biofuel] BAD LYE??

Howdy Roy, my guess is you are seeing a small amount of sodium carbonate (soda ash) which the lye may have been made from. If you are operating on a small scale, ignore the dust. It probably won't effect the outcome. Depending on your source of lye, it's not 100 per cent anyway. I use

Re: [Biofuel] BAD LYE??

short answer, no. Be sure you are keeping the methanol solution closed up tight. Methanol will absorb water from the air, and the lye will cause the absorption of carbon dioxide from the air, turning the lye into insoluble soda ash. If you have kept the lye/methanol solution closed, go ahead

Re: [Biofuel] BAD LYE??

Bob So whatI get out of what you told me is I have soda ash in my lye caused by the absorption of carbon dioxide from room air and my breath. This action takes place after the methanol and the lye are combined ? OR ... is the absorption of CO2 taking place when the lye is being weighed?
