    18.) Calcium Stearate: (A) Manufacturing Process

    Uploaded by

    Shankar kumar roy
    Calcium stearate is manufactured through the reaction of stearic acid and calcium carbonate with water. Stearic acid and calcium carbonate are added to water in a vessel and heated to 58-62°C for several hours. This allows the chemical reaction to occur, forming calcium stearate and releasing carbon dioxide and water. The mixture is then filtered, centrifuged, dried, and pulverized to produce the finished calcium stearate product. Byproducts include mother liquor that is reused in subsequent batches and carbon dioxide gas. The process yields 1000kg of calcium stearate from inputs of stearic acid, calcium carbonate, and water.
