We have had good results with our process of recycling Methanol from
the Esterification reaction. I would, however like to hone in on the
amount of Sulfuric Acid we add to each batch.
We are able to
recover and recycle about 12% Methanol with each batch. This recycled
methanol has some amount of Sulfuric Acid catalyst still dissolved in
it. I would like to determine roughly how much Acid is present, so that
I know how much I need to add to bring the total Acid up to 5% by
weight of FFA.
Let me know if that made sense- and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
