In a given quantity of VO to be reacted with KOH, what causes better or worse yields?
eg, Does adding more catalyst optimise the yield and conversely, does being a bit short reduce the yield?
The same goes for Methanol.Will 25% give a better result than 22%?
Will 18% produced more glycerol and less biodiesel than 20%?
If you want to err on the side of getting maximum yield:would 25% Methonal and a couple of extra grams per litre of KOH (ie base + titration +2) be a good policy?
