Does anyone know how to cleave glycerol from triglercides, leaving behind free fatty acids?

[sdifox]

I remember a movie where pirates were dropping nitroglycerine bottles from hot air balloon...I want to say Crimson Pirate but I can't be sure since I cannot find a clip on youtube

OK. I will do it all outside, no problem Labrat! Might you help me out on the other points mate? Thanks!!!

Honestly, just don't do it at home or outside. You're probably going to end up with a severe chemical burn if you go down this route.

"I can just boil muriatic acid in kitchen pots on the stove, right?"

Ordered some safety goggles from Amazon.

Thanks!!!

Waiting for thread: "spilled hot acid on self and set my porch on fire, what should I do?"

"Fumes are going into neighbor's open window. That's fine, right?"

Just ordered 2 pounds sodium hydroxide just in case that is better to use than the potassium hydroxide. Off to Home Depot in just a bit!

Got these safety glasses btw, cheap as hell!

LOL! Their muriatic acid section was like the worst maintained section I have ever seen in any store, ever. All the boxes looked like that, but half of them had had the bottles fall out, with the bottles laying everywhere.

But I don't care, my bottles are both solid, full of HCA, ready to get this party STARTED!!!!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Maybe try using an Instant Pot. At least it's contained!

Asshats recommending buttee knife when you need a cleaver to cleave.

Thought the below might come in handy! 😉

First Aid for acid burns

I've actually done similar stuff to this before Captante, this is no sweat. I just need UCLALabRat to give me more instructions on how much HCA to mix and stuff like that. But no, I am not going to burn myself or blow the house up you guys crack me up with what scardy-pants yall LOL...

You're at minimum mildly entertaining.... I don't REALLY want you to blow yourself up.

(well maybe a little!) 😛 😉

 

[SaltyNuts]

Well prepare to be disappointed!!!

Hey, can anyone sign off that this as a good beaker? 1000ml, probably more than I'll ever make at one time. And its pirex, so I think it can take temps up to like 500 degrees farenheight safely. Price seems right. I bet HCA wouldn't dent it. Any reason not to get this one?

Thanks!!!
