Or maybe if you mix jest suggar and an lot of pektine at warmer temperaturs it should give you an mix of methanol and ethanol because when you make
alkohol and you have lot of inpuritis (pektine) (shaft, leavs, and the binding mater from appels) you get the blind making kind of alkohol.
You can buy pektine its used as an gelling agent.
I dont have tried this methode its only my theorie. |
So zinc + formic acid, dry it, distill it? Well that sounds very straightforward and simple, so simple I'm a bit skeptical. I'm having trouble finding
any info about zinc formate, is the decomp temp about the same as for acetates? |
