Green Chemistry: The Production of Biodiesel
In this activity, students will be performing a two-phase process to produce small batches of crude biodiesel. The crude biodiesel produced is of sufficient quality for use in the demonstration of the burning qualities of both biodiesel and vegetable oil. Included is an optional small-scale exercise where the students will use a washing procedure to experience the full process of producing biodiesel to meet quality levels necessary for use in vehicles.
Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups of students. Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
Kit Includes:
- Vegetable Oil - 500 ml x 4 Bottles
- Methyl Alcohol - 25 ml x 15 Bottles
