Hello dear all, Can anyone tell me how to find out what is glycerin, soap or solid BD ? Recently I made a few batches of BD from a very poor quality WVO.( about one I already wrote; it was with water in it, which was of course my mistake ). At the moment it is winter in Holland and the temp is around zero C. The "BD" turns to a mixture of solid and liquid and I don't know what is what. When I filter it and put the liquid part in the tank, it is ok, but the solid part is about half of the whole lot. I don't realy trust this part enough to put in my tank in the summer, because it might be glyc or even soap or a mixture of the both (even mixed with solid BD ). Any help or advice would be very welcome.
Something about the mistake I made : I made BD in a tank where there was some water in. The BD did not get clear, but like coffee with milk. I washed a one liter sample about 20 times now, and it is getting coffee with even more milk. The water at the bottom is clear now, but I am getting a little less BD after every time I washed it. Do you think I should turn the whole lot into soap, or is there any other solution thinkable ( I can imagion something with zeolite, but still I have not found any place where I can buy this stuff ( as far as I know I would need 3 )). By the way, is an old fashioned something (what is the word ?). These days it is written as 1.10 meter, where "a" is -10 in this case.
