Durden: As the fat renders, the tallows float to the surface. Like in boy scout's. Once the tallow hardens, you skim off a layer of glycerine.
Once they have obtained the fat Durden explains the process of soap-making. Saponification is the base catalysed hydrolysis of an ester whereby an alcohol and salt of the acid is formed. The process involves the reaction of a metallic alkali base , such as NaOH or KOH with that of a fat or oil to form soap.
Vegetable oils and animal fats are fatty esters in the form of triglycerides. The added base cleaves the ester bond releasing a fatty acid and glycerol.
The soap is then salted out by precipitating it with saturated sodium chloride NaCl. Saponification of a lipid with p otassium hydroxide. Step 1: The hydroxide anion from NaOH or KOH is an effective enough nucleophile to attack the carbonyl group of the ester, generating a tetrahedral intermediate A. However, as - OH has a lower pH aH it is a more effective leaving group, which means the equilibrium is slightly over to the right.
Step 2: The - O lone pair on the tetrahedral intermediate expels the relatively weak leaving groups, to regenerate the carbonyl group forming either carboxylic acid Step 2b: expels - OR or the starting materials Step 2a: expels - OH.
Well it's not hidden. Yep he made soap There's a scene where they have a bag of human blubber! It adds probably a great creep factor to the character IMO. Article on this subject.
