Reaction Steps

Behenic acid of 32.4 g, 9.9 g of alginic acid and 5.6 g of stearic acid were dissolved in 945 ml of pure water at 90° C. Next, 98 ml of 1.5 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution was added thereto with high speed stirring. Then, 0.93 ml of concentrated nitric acid was added thereto, cooled to 55° C. and stirred for 30 min. to obtain the sodium behenate solution.
