How is sodium laurate produced?

1. Add coconut oil or palm oil to the saponification kettle and melt it directly with steam.

2. Add NaOH aqueous solution 3 times and saponify at reflux temperature for about 6 hours to obtain crude soap.

3. Add salt water to the crude soap solution, stand still to separate impurities and by-product glycerin to obtain soap gum.

4. Adjust the pH to about 8.5 with lye to get sodium laurate product.

Overview of sodium laurate

Sodium is a compound with the chemical formulaCH3(CH2)10CO2Na. As the sodium salt of fatty acid (lauric acid), it is classified as soap. It is a white solid. The molecular weight is 222.2996. White powder crystal. Soluble in hot water and hot ethanol, slightly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Sodium laurate is a fine white powder with a greasy feel. It has excellent decontamination, foaming, emulsifying, dispersing, wetting and penetrating capabilities. Sodium laurate is sensitive to humidity and can be used as a raw material for organic synthesis.
