About the So-called Dangerous Chemicals in Biodiesel Production
About the So-called Dangerous Chemicals in Biodiesel Production
I keep hearing about some folks being a bit afraid of biodiesel production because they have heard that dangerous chemicals are used in its production. Is this really true?
Not much. If one were to say biodiesel production needs to be done in a safe manner, that is fine. But it is not the same as saying production is dangerous.
This is what the author of this post @ Triangle Biofuels says as well.
The author goes on provide details about the basic ingredients used to make biodiesel (vegetable oils / Animal Fats, an alcohol such as Methanol/Ethanol & a catalyst, such as Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide).
For those who wish to get a quick backgrounder on biodiesel production, a useful post to have a look at

Oxidation stability of biodiesel and blends
Oxidation stability of biodiesel and blends
A standardised quality parameter to avoid motor damage can be easily determined with the highly reliable Biodiesel Rancimat from Metrohm UK. In addition to other alternative fuels such as ethanol, methanol or biogas (methane), fatty acid methyl esters are increasingly found on the market; these are then known as biodiesel, RME (rapeseed oil methyl esters) or FAME (fatty acid methyl esters).

Reusing Spent Nuclear Fuel in USA
Reusing Soent Nuclear Fuel
A U.S. Department of Energy initiative to reprocess spent nuclear reactor fuel is trying to find a home for a facility. Fred Kight reports the Bush administration says the plan is a means to safely expand nuclear energy. Critics of the initiative say it's unsafe and unwise.
