Jason and Katie, I believe the operational premise here is that the sodium chloride (table salt) would settle out during a FFA recovery process, no different than the manner in which potassium phosphate settles out when using KOH as the catalyst and phosphoric acid in the FFA recovery.
It's possible that an intermediary chlorine gas could be created. I couldn't say precisely, as we've never used anything but phosphoric and occassionally sulfuric (in test amounts) acid in the FFA recovery. All chemicals behave differently when mixed. Someone is going to have to stand up and prefer some solid information on this one, rather than leaving it up to conjecture. Todd Swearingen > > > >>Sodium chloride is table salt.
