We’ll be trying to solve two problems during this round of distilling from our first stripping run. 1) Smalls puffs of vapor escaping out of pressure release hole drilled after the condenser and 2) Hot smelly distillate coming off the Read more…
I built a 5 inch Liebig condenser to try and cool off the 60 C distillate I’m getting during my stripping run. The ideal solution would be to incorporate a small Liebig like this one into the design of my Read more…
The first batch is controlled with a pH buffer we made from citric acid and sodium hydroxide. The second batch we did a ‘control batch’ where we didn’t add any pH controllers until halfway through. For the third batch, we Read more…
