Procedure

A mixture of 50 grams (0.852 mole) of powdered nickel (particle size 3 to 7 microns), 250 grams (1.724 moles) of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (acid number, 387), a catalyst solution prepared by dissolving 10 grams of sodium nitrate in 25 grams of water, and 170 grams of mineral spirits was agitated and heated to 95° C. The reaction mixture was maintained at 90°-95° C. for 16 hours while it was sparged with air at the rate of 30 liters per hour. It was then heated to 135° C. under vacuum to remove water from it. After the reaction product had been filtered and diluted with mineral spirits, there was obtained a solution of nickel 2-ethylhexanoate in mineral spirits that contained 10% by weight of nickel and had an acid number of 39.
