Exactly what I heard

[@justincase5228]

I ran a biodiesel rig down in Peru for about three months. We heated the (filtered) used cooking oil in a recycled (~40 gallon) water heater. With enough time in that stage you can boil off any water that's in the oil. I then added both a measured amount of methanol and lye and let that heat some more. The water heater assembly had a clear tube connection below it which allowed the glycerine to be dropped out of the mixture. Using a complicated system of pumps, the biodiesel then goes to the first of three bubble tanks. Each cleaning stage was in an approximately 65-gallon tank with a typical aquarium air bubbler at the bottom. Once it's made the rounds it's then ready to be stored in a 55-gallon drum. We ran the volunteer truck on 100% biodiesel and it ran just fine. The glycerine then is stored and turned into soap in a different process.

[@theappropriateb8435]

Just show's it's matter of time before we can use something once thought to be waste and turn it into something useful again. I like that story you told, would you say money was saved on Diesel?

[@metamud8686]

how much energy did you need to do all the heating in the various stages? More than the amount of energy stored in the final biodiesel product?

[@ShannonDove-sy7ye]

I don't think glycerin can be turned into soap. Its usually a byproduct of soap making, and sometimes they leave a little bit of glycerin in the soap. But turning glycerin into soap, i can't see that happening

[@BertRowe-b3l]

​@@ShannonDove-sy7ye Glycerin is used as an ADDITIVE in some soap formulations. Unless extra steps are done to separate glycerin from natural soaps, there is a bit of glycerin left in the finished soap already, adding more makes the soap less "drying". Someplace around 10% glycerin by weight is common for hand/face soaps.

[@lorenzocorsi1149]

i'm not too sure but the gel that formed could be some kind of soap. I've made biodiesel in the past and it usually formed when some water was present in the mixture, it can happen because there is some moisture left in the vegetable oil or because the hydroxide absorbed it from air, especially if it has been conserved for a long time (maybe in a not completely air-tight container). To avoid that, I usually pre heat the oil to about 120°C in order to remove all the water and "bake" the hydroxide to over 150°C to dry it completely. By the way if it doesn't interfere too much with the next reactions you can remove the solid junk and proceede anyway

[@Angrycapitalist]

I believe there are stabilizers used to protect diesel in long term storage, I wonder if there's another chemical that could be added to remove the water

[@sumduma55]

Lanolin. I think it's chemically the same but can not be called that because of the source thing.

[@guyteigh3375]

If you make it again using WVO, you might find it interesting to search for esterification with small amounts of conc sulphuric, rather than just using the standard methoxide mix. If you already know of this, awesome, makes a HUGE difference to yield doesn't it! :) Of course, as well as increasing yield it (of course) decreases waste. Even with "grim" WVO, you only need tiny amounts (titrate but typically about 0.12% by volume acid to oil - so a 1 litre container of 96% acid (or even sulphuric acid based drain cleaner, utter purity is not critical here) is enough to process the best part of 1000 litres of oil.

[@wythetrumpet6419]

Very interesting video. I retired form an Army Ammunition Plant where thousands of pounds of NG were manufactured on a regular basis to make double and triple base propellant and gun powder. We also manufactured nitrocellulose. We used 98% white fuming nitric acid and 104% sulfuric acid (Oleum) with pure glycerine. We used the Biazzi Manufacturing Process. We also recovered the nitric and sulfuric acids and reconcentrated them in a NACSAC plant. Back in 1985 we had an NG storehouse and nitrator explode containing 5,000 pounds of pure NG. Sadly two men were killed in the blast that left a huge crater in the ground.

For the yield on average triglycerides have a molar mass of around 885 g/mol and TNG mmass is 92.09 g/mol. This makes glycerine 10.41% of vegetable oils mass stoichiometrically. If you started with 425ml vegetable oil (i know you said 400 but the markings on the beaker say otherwise) that would be 391 grams adjusted for density. If you had a perfect yield the total amount of glycerine from oil would be 40.73 grams. So, finally, your approximate yeild would be 13.01% (5.3/40.73). This is just my calculation based on web sources and, like stated in the video, getting a precisce triglyceride molar mass is difficult. Hope this was interesting.

The cloudiness in the alkali hydroxide solution in methanol is caused by carbonates btw. Those form very fast by air and the carbon dioxide in it reacting with the alkali hydroxide. They are extremely sensitive to CO2 besides being extremely hygroskopic. The reactions shown really are cool and interesting, because they are so easy and only need a few very common chemicals. But the synthesis of nitroglycerine is very dangerous, especially when done correctly to get as much of a yield as possible. This needs to be done with very specific amounts of educts and at specific temperatures, producing lots of fully nitrated nitroglycerine, which is pretty sensitive. Doing the easier synthesis keeping the temperature rather low yields a mixture of nitroglycerine and partly nitrated glycerine, which is much safer. And very cool detail that you mentioned that nitroglycerine isn't a typical nitrate but an ester! Edit: Fun fact: The chemists working in dynamite factories (back then personal safety wasn't really a thing. Not comparable with today, where security is the most important thing. In the west at least, not really in china, india etc...) took up so much nitroglycerine by skin contact etc. that when they went on vacation, they had to take dilute (medical) nitroglycerin with them to inject from time to time, because they were so exposed to it and got such a tolerance that they suffered from extreme headaches without it! Back then work in a lab meant lots of new discoveries, but I still prefer working in a modern lab with modern safety precautions^^

I just wanted to see how I could increase its notorious low yield. I succeeded although I lost all my notes and it was so long ago I can't remember other than what I did was create spontaneously the ammonia nitrate to ammonia gas and leaving a nitrate source in its path I can't remember exactly how I did it but I got over 90% yield which is ridiculously unheard of with that experiment I instantly had dreams of becoming wealthy from the process and then I remembered it was a fairly useless chemical lol but if you try and make this try it with creating the gas under a extremely cold atmosphere within the vessel I got instant probably 10 g of perfect crystals in the blink of an eye as fast as it could bubble through It was the most fascinating thing I've ever seen I wish I would have typed out my notes so I could remember the process All I do remember is like I say I created the ammonia and the ammonia nitrate on the fly in the experimental vessel so that was basically the only things that I changed was the temperature using the Grant chiller and I believe alcohol but it doesn't really matter it wasn't that cold it was antifreeze type temperatures cold lol if you know what I mean usually use alcohol when you want to get very very Sub-Zero but at any rate yeah that was the only thing different than the normal process of making the crystals the most important part being creating the ammonia and evolving it to nitrate instantly in the same vessel with the copper compounds etc so if you look up the classic experiment and then play around with it you can probably increase the yield yourself the same way I stumbled on it purely by mistake let me know if you want that Grant chiller it's invaluable to any lab

Easy-just make your teenage daughter wash dishes by hand, and throw out the Taylor Swift junk in her room while she's doing it-that adds the bigger, secondary explosion that requires the primary, smaller explosion (hand washing dishes) to set off. The Russians called it the "Tsar Bomba" and punched a hole in the atmosphere with it.

My dad worked on a hydroelectric project in the '50s. He told how they used to use gelignite to make a camp-fire because it burns real good. Soldiers in Vietnam used C4 stuck to the bottom of a canteen cup to heat water for coffee, sometimes scooped out of claymore mines. Is there anything HE can't do?

[@ernestoterrazas3480]

Very interesting instructive and entertaining thank you for shearing your knowledge.

[@davidtran6868]

Thanks curiosity, now I’m on a watch list. Great.

"i hope you lerned something new and now don't want to make nitro glycerin"😂

Can it be powerful enough to 'boom' a decent size building? ☺️

Can ethanol alcohol be used instead? What about just mixing burnt or slaked lime (from roasting oyster shells) with the oil, wouldn't calcium stearate precipitate out ? Calcium stearate being insoluble should just be filtered out. Would that make glycerin? Calcium stearate is supposedly what soap scum is that forms on a bath tub, comes from soap (sodium sterate ) reacting with calcium in the water.

Bro how have I not found your channel yet this is gonna be good hell I love me some yellow chem

[@Dmvmclovin]

If you were to add nitric acid to the soap making process, one would get nitroglycerin. You can mix the nitroglycerin with sodium nitrate and sawdust to make dynamite.

"Don't try this at home." Me: "Ha! Challenge accepted."

[@homerelesperance2857]

Amazing video, I would never try to make nitroglycerin myself as this stuff is very unstable and could go off 💥 on its own!

[@seansingh4421]

Aaaaand now we’re probably on a watchlist. Thanks dingus

[@Leafthief]

1:27 thought dynamite is made from TNT tri nitro tuluol ?

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

No, thats a common misconception, it is made from nitroglycerin

[@Leafthief]

@@Amateur.Chemistry the more you know :D

[@wackymoder]

The reason why you had to do it at a high temperature is because you're supposed to use 3 times the amount of sulfuric acid than nitric acid. Instead of doing that 3:1 ratio you did a 1:1 ratio.

[@bradleyhoopes5345]

did the biodiesel reaction at my college its pretty cool that it also makes glycerine

[@RedDogForge]

so this is also why ammonium nitrate combined with diesel fuel is explosive? the diesels a glycerine and the AN nitrates? creating a crude approximation of nitroglycerine?

[@Fish-ub3wn]

O czesc. Tez robiłem nitroglicerynę, na chemii na uni zostawili nas po godzinach z mieszaniną nitrująca pod dygestorium ^^

[@marlinavallejos2258]

You know those people who breakdown video's for you to understand I hope someone makes one.😂kidding! 😊good video!
