Synthesis method of sodium laurate

Overview of Sodium Laurate

Sodium is a compound with the chemical formula CH3(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.

Sodium laurate generally refers to sodium dodecanoate, which is a chemical substance with a chemical formula of C11H23COONa and a molecular weight of 222.2996.

Synthesis method of sodium laurate

Add coconut oil or palm oil to the saponification kettle and heat it directly with steam to melt. Add NaOH aqueous solution three more times and saponify at reflux temperature for about 6 hours to obtain crude soap. The salt water is added to the crude soap solution, and the impurities and by-product glycerin are separated out by standing to obtain soap gum. Then adjust the pH to about 8.5 with lye to obtain the finished product.

Sodium laurate application

Sodium laurate can be used as soap, detergent, insecticide, etc.

Sodium laurate is also used in organic synthesis

Sodium laurate is an important raw material for making textile soaps and shampoos, and it is an indispensable ingredient in soaps.

Sodium laurate can be used as an excellent surfactant, emulsifier, lubricant and cosmetic detergent.
