TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The base is potassium methoxide. The salt is potassium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride and/or sodium hydrosulfite.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The method (M1) additionally involves adjusting the temperature of the acidified oil to 45-55 degrees C using sonic waves. The glycerin is removed from the acidified oil using two-phase centrifuge. The methyl ester solution is mixed for about one hour until the pH of the solution is greater than pH 7. The second acid and the aqueous salt solution are mixed with the solution of methyl esters simultaneously. The emulsion is exposed to the electric field in at least one electrochemical reactor that comprises housing having an upper portion and lower portion, where the upper portion forms development chamber and the lower portion forms reaction chamber; an inlet communicating with the housing at the reaction chamber to allow the flow of liquid into the housing; an outlet communicating with the reaction chamber to allow the flow of liquid out of the housing; several reaction plates disposed in the housing and extending vertical within the reaction chamber, where the reaction plates are spaced apart from one another creating gaps extending between adjacent reaction plates, and the flow of liquid is in flow direction upward through the gaps between the reaction plates; at least two reaction plate tabs integral with selected ones of the reaction plates; and source of power providing line voltage to the tabs to create an electrical field within the reaction chamber. The recovery of the biodiesel fuel involves separating the biodiesel fuel from another component of the broken emulsion under vacuum. The vacuum is applied in at least one of vacuum clarifier or vacuum distiller. Preferred Components: The triglyceride oil is vegetable oil selected from corn oil, canola oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, flax seed oil, safflower oil, tall oil, pine tree tall oil, coconut oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil, palm kernel oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, linseed oil, tung oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, babassu oil, perilla oil, oiticica oil, castor oil, Chinese tallow tree oil, Physic nut oil, Cuphea seed oil and/or hemp oil; or selected from bacterial oil, fungal oil, animal oil, grease, beef tallow, chicken fat oil, lard, fish oils, menhaden oil and/or soapstock. The triglyceride oil is a clarified raw oil derived from non-petroleum source processed to separate organic solids and water from the oil. The first acid is sulfuric acid. The alcohol is methanol, ethanol, propanol, iso-propanol, butanol, tert-butanol, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, nonanol and/or decanol. The second acid is phosphoric acid. In the method (M2), the aqueous salt solution comprises an acid in quantity to lower the pH of the emulsion below pH 7. EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
