One problem. The mixture got neutral with both ingredients. I've done it with the acid first and then the baking soda. Reverse PH knocks the rust of big time!
Interesting! Great results. Only issue I have is that it gets spent. Evaporust lasts a very long time. Adding an air stone will accelerate the process.
Nice end results. But if you look closely, the muffler has a lot of metal gone (holes) from the rust around the treaded part. So it may not be long before it is gone... Thumbs Up!
You can find citric acid at most hardware stores (or Amazon) and sodium carbonate is washing soda, which can usually be found in the grocery with washing detergents. I live in the USA, so take that into account.
So you dissolve citric acid in water to have an acidic solution, you partially neutralize it with sodium carbonate, you are left with water, smaller concentration of citric acid and sodium citrate. You could have just used less citric acid since sodium citrate is having less weight in the rust removal process.
@@anasalwash it's not completely neutralized since he is using 0.52mol of citric acid vs 0.38mol of sodium carbonate. So there are still free H+ ions, but less than before. Is it useful? Probably not.
your just using a weak vinegar to remove rust the baking soda kills the acid in the vinegar soap does let it stick yes you want to remove rust evapo rust is your only option.
I would think Evaporust and electrolysis would be a better solution than having to wait so long with that process. But it looks interesting regardless of the situation.
ElementalMaker had the exact same recipe but explained the process as he went .

That’s amazing AJ, I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing!

Looks like it will even remove the carbon from the inside of the muffler

Ah. You made Enos 😂
I will try this mix.
Very nice A.J.. Where can I purchase the ingredients to make up a batch of that?

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota AJ
Good info!
Thanks, it is a very helpfull as we all have some rust removing to do.🐞

I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@dreimer2 me too, it makes little sense unless you like to watch the reaction... lots of bubbles
You should probably stick with Evapo-Rust
Isn’t it an acidic buffer solution ?

hydrochloric acid works much better and fast.
and vinegar or citrus acid pure works also ok..
cheers

hcl immediately ruins gas tanks
so, the only active ingredient is the soap since the acid and base neutralized each other
nope

Have you tested just Distilled White Vinegar? I use it for fuel tanks and it can do that in about 1 hour.

There is a better and cheaper solution than Evapo-Rust for removing the rust, and it is called: Deox C
It is made in U.K. and it works amazingly well.
