I Need help with mixing lie and peroxide - non chemist here
« on: February 05, 2017, 02:51:09 PM »
i need help i'm trying to make ozonated olive oil soap

i make ozonated olive oil on a regular bases

i can make soap also

but issue i'm haveing is i make my water+lye solution that is needed for soap then i add in my ozonated olive oil and that is when trouble starts (from my understanding when i make ozonated olive oil (and it is strong paste like as a finished product but can me warmed upped to make it back into liquid) from reading i think that the ozone + olive oil creates hydrogen peroxide

out of about 20 tries i have been somewhat successful twice.

things i done -
would put my lye water in refrigerator until very cold, would have my oil as cold as possible to still be liquid

usual results - mixture will get hot one time very hot and melted heavy plastic bowl, some times after i lightly mixed the 2 it will heat up.

the 2 times when i was successful the soap never really cured/dried
i been using normal calculations for the water lye ratio as i would have i been making regular olive oil soap


can i put the lye water in freezer and make it colder as to not have this explosive reaction?  maybe put lye/water mixture container inside another container that i fill with water and the outside container is froze solid before i try adding in my oil?

any and all help would be appreciated.
