ABSTRACT:
An improved process for reacting a mixture of branched and linear alcohols with a caustic, optionally in the presence of a catalyst, to produce a reaction mixture containing carboxylic acid salts, and to liberate hydrogen. The improvement comprises introducing into the reaction mixture at about a time when a significant evolution of hydrogen from the mixture begins to occur, an effective amount of an inert diluent for the reaction mixture. The effective amount is sufficient to maintain the fluidity of the reaction mixture. A preferred diluent is mineral oil. The improvement reduces the tendency of the reaction mixture to foam and solidify, thus permitting the reaction to proceed to completion and permitting the easy removal of the reaction mixture from the reaction zone. Additionally, the improvement insures that the branched and linear mixture of carboxylic acid salts produced substantially corresponds to the branched and linear mixture of alcohols reacted.
