Procedure

To 340 ml of isopropanol, 34 g of behenic acid was dissolved at 65° C. Thereafter, while stirring, an aqueous 25N sodium hydroxide solution was added so that the pH was adjusted to 8.7. At the same time, about 400 ml of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were employed. Thereafter, the resulting sodium behenate solution was concentrated under reduced pressure so that the concentration of sodium behenate became 8.8 percent by weight.
