Procedure

In 945 ml of water were dissolved 32.4 g of behenic acid, 9.9 g of arachidic acid and 5.6 g of stearic acid at 90° C. Thereafter, an aqueous 1.5M sodium hydroxide solution was added with stirring at a high speed. Subsequently, 0.93 ml of concentrated nitric acid was added thereto and cooled 55° C. with stirring for a period of 30 min. to obtain a sodium behenate solution.

Workup
