Raw Material for Sodium Palmitate Production
According to the Sodium Palmitate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Palmitate include Sodium Hydroxide-Palmitic Acid.
Production Process of Sodium Palmitate
The extensive Sodium Palmitate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Sodium Hydroxide and Palmitic Acid: The production process of Sodium Palmitate involves a neutralization reaction. In this process, sodium hydroxide is reacted with palmitic acid under heat, which neutralizes the palmitic acid, forming Sodium Palmitate as the final product.
Sodium palmitate is a sodium salt of palmitic acid with a chemical formula C16H31NaO2, and its molecular weight is 278.41 g/cm3. It is a white to yellow-colored solid with a melting point in the range of 283 to 290 °C and a boiling point of around 340.6 °C. It is a sodium salt that is insoluble in water but moderately soluble in alcohol, including ethanol. Similarly, it is highly soluble in ether and chloroform. The compound remains stable under normal conditions and decomposes when heated at a high temperature, emitting acrid and irritating smoke.
