Final day in the lab.

Well, today was the final hurrah in the lab. We did not start any new experiments except to attempt to re-react some of our finished biodiesel to see if any more glycerin formed. It did but very little which is another example of a type of purity test, or to see if it was reacted enough. We did complete the other experiments that needed completion, the canola oil run, and the transestrification of lard. We imported the data into our table to present to Dr. Olson and provide him a reference as he continues the project. We then took Dr. Olson to lunch to thank him for the opportunity to work with him in his research. We went to YC's Mongolian BBQ and it was excellent!! We talked to Olson about taking student samples of BDO to the FTIR at ASU Polytech and possibly hosting an audience of High school students to talk and present to Olson and his graduate students on scientific topics. Our group agreed that it would be a great opportunity for the students.
