Manufacturing Process for Biodiesel?
I am doing a science project, and am planning to manufacture biodiesel. I am aware that you can use methanol, but some sources say to use sodium hydroxide, while other sources don’t. This is a small scale biodiesel production. For safety, what type of gloves should I use, I hear that biodiesel eats away at rubber, so what type of gloves should I use. Best answer should provide method to produce biodiesel, materials needed, sources for the materials (online only, no local), safety equipment, and sources for the safety equipment.
My method above is an unverified method, so please just contribute your method. Thanks
I’ve done this in the chemical engineering lab at PSU.
nitrile gloves
Add a magnetic stir bar 1 part methanol, 1 part vegetable oil, and some lye (NaOH)
to a beaker.
Put on a magnetic stirrer and heat to approximately 50 degrees C (any hotter and your methanol vapors might ignite.)
Let it react for an hour.
Let settle and separate the aqueous and biodiesel phase with a sep funnel or decanting if you don’t care about yield/purity.
You’re done, as far as safety nothing here will kill you, just don’t let the methanol get too hot or near a spark.
