<p>A process for separating a first fatty acid selected from the group consisting of stearic acid and oleic acid from a mixture of this first fatty acid and a second fatty acid selected from the group consisting of palmitic acid and linoleic acid, which process comprises contacting the mixture at adsorption conditions with an adsorbent comprising a nonionic hydrophobic insoluble cross-linked polystyrene polymer, thereby selectively adsorbing the first fatty acid, wherein when the first acid is stearic acid then the second acid is palmitic acid and wherein when the first acid is oleic acid then the second acid is linoleic acid.</p> |
