Yup He's basically refluxing it, I assume, with the liebig condenser vertically attached to the reaction vessel. A closed container would do the same thing! A good use for the liebig condenser would be to reclaim the excess methanol from the glycerine, but they are usually pretty small, so would take a while.

Is that the jist of it? Turning it into a less volitile liquid instead of a gas? |
