Greg, I think your NaOH was insufficient. Your reaction ran out of reactant before it was complete. 4 [base] + 2.4 [titration] = 6.4 grams per litre. Your temp...
Well, when I got home today and was going remake a test batch, this sample of BD had cleared up nicely. Just still darker then I expected. Upon cleaning the...
For the second test batch, I used 4 g/L instead of 5 g/L for the base. This test turned out as expected, nice seperation and nothing funny looking. Tomorrow...
Greg, I misread your initial post and thought you were using 5g total, not the base amount. I think Viesel is right on with a bit too much NaOH. I just...
Thats cool. I'm just glad it turned out nicely. I processed the 20 gals last night and it was a beautiful thing watching the glycerin fall from the BD in the...
