Reaction Steps

Dissolved in 40 liters of deionized water were at 90° C. 1.4 kg of behenic acid, 0.42 kg of arachidic acid, 0.25 kg of stearic acid. Next, while stirring at high speed, 4.1 liters of a 1.5M sodium hydroxide solution were added. After adding 39 liters of concentrated nitric acid, the resultant mixture was cooled to 55° C. and stirred for 30 minutes and a sodium behenate solution was obtained.
