Water → Sodium Behenate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dispersion “B” was prepared using a small-sized crystallization equipment as shown in FIG. 4. While stirring in a tank 32 a mixture of 876 g of behenic acid (Edenor C22-85R, product of Henkel Corporation), 4,230 ml of distilled water and 1,200 ml of tert-butanol at 75° C., added thereto was 492 ml of a 5N aqueous NaOH solution over 5 minutes, and was then allowed to react for 60 minutes to obtain sodium behenate solution. Independently, 2,062 ml of aqueous solution containing 404 g of silver nitrate (pH 4.0) was prepared and kept in a tank 31 at 10° C.
