Hi everyone, I bubble washed the methyl ester after removing the glycerine layer. Funny thing is the water turned really white and the level of my ME really thinned after 12 hours of bubble washing. The water volume i used was 100% of the ME and i forgot to add the acid. Why did the ME yeild dimminish? Could it mean that my ME did not react completely and during the bubble wash the "unstable" stuff turned into soap? Has anyone encountered deminishing yield because of the bubble wash. The ME had stood for 1 week before the bubble wash and i noticed the volume drop during that time( i think bec. of the methanol evaporating).
Your comments are greatly appreciated.
