Timelapse of Transesterification of Waste Vegetable Oil

[Veikra]

I have a question, could you mix the chemical in a blender and then run it thorugh a centrifuge to get the soap and solids out ? Or does it need to settle for a while?

Great vid! I do the same but with no chemicals, Just the earths gravity! Takes 3 weeks. On a cool floor. It's the best way to clean your WVO.

Did you use KOH or NaOH for this reaction? I have been using KOH for the past 4 years due to the rapidity that the esterfication takes place. Plus the glycerin produced makes for excellent degreaser soap!

how long was that stud for?

did you mix the veg oil with anything before you let it stud?

if you mixed it, what did you mix it with?
