METHOD OF PRODUCING METAL SOAP

摘要

A method of producing a metal soap comprising the steps of reacting a source material of one or more fatty acids with aqueous potassium hydroxide, reacting the resultant saponified fatty acid with a water soluble metal oxide or a metal salt of which the anion is selected from the group capable of forming a water soluble salt with potassium, allowing the reaction mixture to separate into an organic phase and an aqueous phase and recovering the metal soap from the organic phase.
