Abstract
The present paper relates to an improved method for making surfactant esters, especially sorbitan monostearate and tristearate. Sorbitan esters of fatty acid, stéarate are derived from a reaction between sorbitan and fatty acid. Method of sorbitan ester production needs addition of catalyst. Sorbitan stéarate production was studied using chemical catalyst. Two steps process leading sorbitan production under atmospheric and vacuum pressure with acid catalyst resulted dehydrated product at optimal residence time of 195 min at 180°C for atmospheric conditions and optimalresidence time of 150 min at the same temperature respectively. Sorbitan stearate production was studied by utilizing sorbitan...
