Can you evaporate Benzyl Alcohol

[janoshik]

Thats all you can say about this? So you say that you are a shittalker yes? Because you are! But once again heating BA in oil will result in the conversion/oxidation to Benzaldehyde and of course Benzoic acid.
But for you @janoshik ....distilation of BA is done under vacuum, and if you would know what a flashpoint is, then you would find out that the flashpoint of BA is arround 100 °C , at this temperature it starts producing explosive mixtures with air, and destilling without vacuum means distilling at 205 °C which is the boiling point of BA you dump prick, even diesel flashes at arround 250 °C so you are telling people to distill BA with an Oil (with flashpoint in Dieselregion) at 205 °C )

Better let these guys know they are doing stuff that's not possible, according to our local scientific elite:



JFC. Now go crawl into a corner.

Sorry but that is total bullshit, seems you have no clue about chemistry. Never heat your oil unnesesary when BA is allready in it. Always add BA at the end to the allready cooled oil. Why? Because BA with prolonged heat is oxidizing to benzaldehyde and benzoic acid, thats also the reason why it gets a more yellow tint and begins smelling like pistacia. Benzaldehyde is a nervepoisen when injected!!

Ok, so why all brewers ( labs ) are sterilizing their gear by heat ? Autoclave or dry heat sterilization ?

@Katona is just an ignoramus, hopefully this attempt to educate him by You, Jano, and myself will give him some clarity, but judging from the cockiness of his original posts I somehow doubt that he will be accepting of the information and will continue to ignore the facts.

Mass poisoning attempt I'd guess

 

[Katona]

Can you tell me which of the two are yellow? Is it the benzaldehyde, or the benzoic acid?

What diffrence would it make?

Jesus fucking Christ, you realize this is probably done with some sort of oxidizing agent or catalyst? Or are you that ignorant? Maybe if you actually read the article you referenced there instead of just the abstract you would know this... fucking chimpanzee...

Like i have said before, don t try to argument when you have no clue, simply test it yourself and you will see i am right.

Have you ever heard of something called Vapour Volatility? You smooth brained fucking retard.

Has nothing to do at the moment of what the discussion was about.

You goddamn smooth brained amoeba.

Flashpoint of ethanol is 12C, boiling point at 78C. Now go tell people it's not possible to distill ethanol with a straight face you baboon.

Now go read something about Dunning–Kruger before you try to appear smart again.

) Once again you proofed that you have no clue and are simply a shittalker.
The flashpoint of ethanol mixed with water (one of the only ethanols which are destilled) is faaaar higher then the boiling point of pure ethanol.
The flashpoint of 100% pure ethanol is arround 12 degree Celsius (which is btw impossible to destill without adding enourmous amounts of drying substances like calcium chloride) ) Nobody will ever destill 100% pure ethanol! Why? the reason is obvious.
But nice to see that your arguments are so shitty @janoshik that you have to call your "friend" for help. But like you see, both of you have no clue and are not able to have a discussion based on facts, because you simply know shit.

Yes that is right, sterilizing is done by heat. Autoclave and dry heat is also ok. Have i said something else somewhere?

Next time add the whole sentence not only the part which looks better for you )

Methanol (analytical grade, Chempur, Poland) was used as received. Benzyl alcohol (BzOH) (analytical grade, POCH, Poland) was distilled under atmospheric pressure, and then on the high vacuum line (at 10-3mbar) into glass ampoules with break-seals.

Because benzyl alcohol in oil is not mixed with anything, right? You goddamn retard.

nobody will ever destill 100% pure ethanol! Why? the reason is obvious.

The word your stupid ass is looking for is azeotrope.

what does that change about the fact that they first did what you claim was impossible? reading comprehension is not really strong with you, is it?


now fuck off, stupid

Regarding distilling, I've made hundreds of gallons of moonshine with my reflux still.

Imo you DON'T want to try doing this!

Sure benzyl alcohol will turn into vapor at it's boiling point but don't forget everything else has a boiling point as well!

You better know everything in your vial & it's boiling points too if you're gonna try distilling out the alcohol.

For instance, if something in your vial has a lower boiling point than the BA it'll be coming out of the mix before your alcohol will & you'll lose that from your final product too. (Unless you're capturing it to add back in afterwards.)

You could potentially be distilling out much more than just the alcohol & you wouldn't even know it unless you know these things & their temps.

Plus the potential damage to the stability of the gear itself. I don't know about that part of it but just know distilling can be a very precise was to remove the alcohol but there's more to be considered in the overall picture.

Well, I actually do have experience with doing that, and knowing what is inside a vial is kinda my business.

BA has the lowest BP in AAS oils by far and the difference is so huge that there is absolutely no need to be precise nor accurate.

Anyway, I suggested that merely as a joke, or well... academic discussion.

But @Katona had to come and make a retard out of himself.
