Abstract
1. A study has been made of the change in viscosity of oxidized paraffin in the process of saponification with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. 2. It has been shown that, with a concentration of sodium salts of fatty acids above 1.1–1.2 moles/liter and a concentration of water below 6–8 moles/liter, there is a sharp increase in kinematic viscosity of the saponified mass. In the other cases, the system viscosity changes almost proportionally to the degree of saponification or to the concentration of sodium salts. 3. On the basis of this study of the change of viscosity upon saponification of the oxidized product, we have drawn a tentative conclusion as to the formation of gels, which produce sharp increases in the viscosity of the system and make it more difficult to process the product.
