Hi guys I am looking for phase equilibria diagrams for methanol to help me calibrate my solvent recovery unit. If the pressure drops too low I will flash evaporate water too (which I don't want to). Any links will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reassurance but here are some pictures of what I was worried about: 1. 2.

I recently made what I believe to be aluminium hydroxide by neutralizing polyaluminium chloride AlnCl(3n-m)(OH)m with sodium hydroxide. I got a white gel that precipitated in water and eventually dried to a hard white solid. With time (a few days) fine rod-like structures with white balls on them began to form on top of the aluminium hydroxide. I've attached some pictures to help show what I mean. I was wondering if these rod-like structures are carcinogenic (like fiberglass) or harmful in anyway or if it isn't even Al(OH)3 like I thought. Any help will be appreciated. It seems pictures can't be attached right now.

Chemistry Exam The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry final exam: "Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof." Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives us two possibilities: 1 - If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2 - Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year "That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic." The student got the only A.

I'm trying to make a fuel gel using the by product of biodiesel production glycerol. I'm finding difficulty in forming a good gel. If I mix acetate with glycerol it won't form a gel when I add ethanol. If I make the gel first the glycerol just makes everything watery. Any help?
