Water → Sodium Behenate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dispersion B was prepared by using such a facility as shown in FIG. 3. In the tank 30, 87.6 g of behenic acid (Edenor C22-85R, trade name, manufactured by Henkel Co.), 423 mL of distilled water and 120 mL of tert-butanol were added with 49.2 mL of 5 mol/L aqueous solution of NaOH over 5 minutes at 75° C. with stirring, and allowed to react at for 60 minutes to obtain a solution of sodium behenate. Separately, 206.2 mL of an aqueous solution containing 40.4 g of silver nitrate (pH 4.0) was prepared and kept at 10° C. in the tank 29. Further, 600 mL of pure water was measured in the tank 38, and circulated through the pipeline mixer 37, Model LR-1 produced by Mizuho Kogyo Co., Ltd., via the pump 35 at a flow rate of 100 mL/minute. While stirring was performed by operating the pipeline mixer at 10,000 rpm, the aqueous solution of silver nitrate was added at a constant flow rate of 2.9 ml/minute by using the pump 33, and after 5 seconds, addition of the aqueous solution of sodium behenate was started at a constant flow rate of 9.8 mL/minute, so that the solutions were stored in the tank 38. Cooling water at 10° C. was supplied to a jacket of the tank 38 at a flow rate of 2 L/minute, and as a result, the average temperature in the tank was measured to be 30° C.
