I would think that the water present would slow down the reaction.
And the presence of Fatty acids that are not converted by transesterification
but require Fisher (low pH) Esterification would give
less than expected results.
However, good water removal and Fisher Esterification followed
I believe that two way converters work on the hydrocarbons and Carbon
monoxide. However, I think that they do
some conversion of Nitrogen oxides to Nitrogen.
However, most of the Nitrogen oxides are generated by the high temperature
of combustion breaking down the
N to N triple bonds. The
I thought that gas catalytic converters required extra air (oxygen) to
operate. Most gas engines will pump gas into the exhaust
before the converter to convert hydrocarbons to water and CO2 (this chemical
reaction requires Oxygen) Carbon Monoxide to CO2
(this chemical reaction requires Oxygen)

Nice to hear from you again, it's been awhile.

After one removed the water could the glycerin be mixed with SVO
and burned in a Diesel?

You will always make some soap when you make bio-B in the
one step process. You can greatly reduce the amount of
soap that you make if you use the two step process.
Step one: convert Free Fatty Acids to methyl esters at
low pH.
Step two: convert the oil to methyl esters at high pH.
Free
I would expect that if you had a ion exchange resin one
could raise/lower the pH of the system. Then the fisher
esterification or transesterification would proceed.
Then since NaOH or KOH was not added post reaction
clean up would be easier.

I know the someone posted about useing Bio D with ethanol
in 2 cycle engines but they had to drill out the carb jets
to get it to work well
check the archives.

If you use the 1 step process and seperate
out soaps, can you treat the soaps and convert them
to Bio-D?
I know that you can in the 2 step process but that
is before you form soaps?

Hi All,
Has there been anyone who has used bio D in portable space heaters that
usually use kerosene?
Does Bio D burn clean enough?
I saw some kerosene additives at Wal-Mart that had perfume to reduce (cover)
the
burned kerosene smell. Would Bio D 100% or mixed with kerosene burn better

How much Bio D can be added to a gasoline
engine before it starts to cause problems?
I have heard that some will add a gallon or
two of diesel to gasoline engine's fuel tank
if the engine has a slight knock. I guess
that the slower burn speed of the diesel helps
to reduce eliminate the knock?
I would think that if one could get the glycerine to
react with a shorter acid (maybe acetic) then the glycerine
could be used in the bio-d. Since these are smaller molecules
they would have a lower cloud point and may help the bio d
to stay liquid at colder temps.

So it was clear after cooling at 38 F for
8 hr?
How cloudy was it before?

They (Sulfur oxides) compete for the active sites on the

It has 3 -OH groups I would think that you
could esterfy with Acetic acid.
If you esterfied all 3 -OH groups you would
have a C9 hydrocarbon with 6 oxygens.
Talk about an oxygenated fuel.
I think that a C-9 is close to the size
of gasoline
