Green Chemistry Production of Biodiesel
Product Code : JA-GCE-6828
The Green Chemistry Production of Biodiesel kit (SKU JA-GCE-6828) lets students make small batches of crude biodiesel in the laboratory by a two-phase process, then compare how it burns with the vegetable oil it was made from. An optional washing exercise shows the further steps needed to bring crude biodiesel towards vehicle-fuel quality. This biodiesel production kit has materials for 15 groups with a teacher's manual and student copy masters, and is supplied by JaincoLab.
Specifications
The kit provides sufficient materials for 15 groups to produce small batches of crude biodiesel by a two-phase process, with an optional washing-procedure exercise, a teacher's manual and student copy masters; reagent identities and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
