Procedure

Behenic acid (being Edenor C22-85R, manufactured by Henckel Corp.) of 87.6 kg, 423 L of distilled water, 49.2 L of sodium hydroxide at a concentration of 5 mol/L and 120 L of t-butylalcohol were mixed, and the mixture was allowed react at 75° C. while stirred for 1 hour, resulting in preparation of a sodium behenate solution. Separately, 206.2 L (pH of 4.0) of an aqueous solution containing 40.4 kg of silver nitrate were prepared and temporarily stored at 10° C.

Workup

  1. customthe mixture was allowed react at 75° C.
