Procedure

In 945 ml 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. Then, after adding 98 ml of 1.5M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution with stirring and further adding 0.93 ml of concentrated nitric acid, the solution was cooled to a temperature of 55° C. for 30 min. to obtain an aqueous sodium behenate solution.
