Possible to unreact biodiesel?
We finally got our methanol recovery working really well the other day then we were wondering if we could actually reverse the reaction in the biodiesel. Basically we reacted our mixture then let settle for a day, pulled out the glycerin then we heated it up to around 150 and pulled a vacuum on it and recovered a couple liters of methanol out of the bio. We just kept getting more and more methanol so like i said we were wondering if we could actually reverse the reaction. If there were still glycerin in the mixture it seems like it could, but if we got all the glycerin out and then you pulled methanol out i don't even know what would be left...
Anyways, just wondering.
