jdurg Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If you need some acetaldehyde, just drink a lot of ethanol and wait a few hours. Your liver enzymes will dehydrate the ethanol into acetaldehyde. Then all you need to do is distill it from your blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boris_73 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 why is ethanol much more expensive then methanol i have found 500ml of ethanol for £24 and 2.5ltr of methanol for £5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 "why is ethanol much more expensive then methanol i have found 500ml of ethanol for £24 and 2.5ltr of methanol for £5+" Ethanol has quite a bit of uses more than methanol, that I'd imagine is one reason. Probably something to do with the difficulty of manufacturing process too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I think a LOT of it is because you can drink ethanol and get drunk. If you drink methanol, you get dead. So the increased price of ethanol is to discourage people from buying it really cheap and getting drunk off of it. In reality, ethanol is one of the cheapest chemicals out there.

Von Klemmung Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I've heard of a Norwegian roundabout way to get ethanol. It should go like this: You get some polish (shellac and ethanol), add kitchen salt (NaCl) and the shellac SHOULD precipitate out into some sticky blobs. It was called a "Klompetoddy" As we're only able to get a methanol-based polish here (so's we don't drink it), I've wondered if it was possible to isolate the shellac by the same method? It might have been just "The South flaming The North", however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
