Mixing Biodiesel (Part 1) | Bio Diesel Fuel Production

It'd be interesting to do this in a chemisty class, make biodiesel.
And, yeah, methanol is something you'd want under a fume hood, not six inches from your nose. But he's probably using a more dilute solution.
As for me, I used to take hours to complete simple thermodynamics labs, so i'll just buy the heating system and let it pay for itself.

The few times I've worked with methanol in the lab, it was under a fume hood.

This series is very interesting. I wonder if you have any comments regarding the cultivation of algae for biofuels production.

would it just work if you heat the oil

please answer

Yes you can

Is the potassium hydroxide the same as lye? please answer!!

Thanks

yes but you need aprox 1.5x more KOH than NaOH.

It's actually a different substance.
Potassium Hydroxide is known as KOH.
Sodium Hydroxide is known as NaOH.
They're both strong bases and both can be used to make Biodiesel.
