Making Biodiesel Part 1



On Thursday, we began the process of making our own biodiesel. First, we took recycled peanut oil and combined it with a mixture of KOH and methanol. Then, we put a flask of this mixture into a hot water bath and boiled it for about 20 minutes. Lastly, we let it cool and settle, upon which it began to separate into two layers.
