Sodium oleate , alias sodium octadecenoate, cis-9-octadecenol, oleyl alcohol, cis-9-octadecenol, (Z)-octadecenol, olive oil, cis -9-octadecen-1-ol, 9-n-octadecenol, octadecenol. It is an organic oil that has the chemical formula C17H33CO2Na. This is the main ingredient in olive oil soap and tallow soap. This can be produced by reacting sodium-hydroxide with oil. The compound is made up of two parts: one hydrophobic, the other hydrophilic. It is excellent at penetration, emulsification, and detergency. It can be used as an anionic fabric waterproofing agent and surfactant. The basics of sodium Oleate

Properties of sodium Oleate
Oxidizing
Slowly, it can oxidize, color the air, turn the color darker or cause rancidity. The double bond between oleic and nonanal is also broken. Corruption is possible by mixing unsaturated acid with oleic acid.
Solubility
Use 10 times as much water to dissolve the solution. It will foam up and become a viscous fluid. Aqueous solution will be alkaline. Partial hydrolysis results in the formation of sodium hydroxide and insoluble soap. The liquid then becomes milky. It is non-hy-drolyzed in ethanol, and it remains neutral. You can dissolve it in 20x the amount of alcohol. You can dissolve it in petroleum ether and in other organic solvents.
Hy-drolysis reaction: 2RCOONa+H2O=RCOONa*RCOOH+NaOH
Reaction chemical
To produce salt precipitation, reacts with other metal ions than the alkali metallics.
Others properties
It is not possible to volatilize general salt and can therefore be fully dissociated in water. The salt can be made into hydroxy acid by adding strong acids. If the soap liquid is kept cold it will not crystallize. It forms insoluble calcium or magnesium soap precipitates together with calcium and magnesium salts. It is white in appearance and has the following properties: density: 0.9g/cm3 melting point: 223-235degC (lit. ); boiling point is 359.999oC at 600 mmHg, flashpoint 270.099oC. Not compatible with strong oxidizing agent. Temperature: -20oC
Preparation for sodium oleate
You can get it by neutralizing either sodium hydroxide (or sodium carbonate) in an oleic Acid ethanol solution.
Teng of the oleic acid may be dispersed in 100mL (95%) ethanol. Next, adjust with a 0.5mol/L sodium hydro-droxide solution. Use phenolphthalein to indicate. Once the solution reaches the equivalence level, precipitated can be used. sodium Oleate Soap is removed by filtering. You can get the raw product if it doesn’t precipitate after distilling the water and alcohol. Then, you can recrystallize the mixture of ethanol/ether.
Use sodium oleate
1. Soap made with olive oil also contains tallow soap as its main ingredient.
2. This product can be used as a food coating agent such as for vegetable and fruit surface coatings. It is also compatible with high boron and ethylene oxide.
3. Protective fabric made from mineral processing
4. This can be used to prevent corrosion in aluminum alloys, copper and iron.
5. As an anionic surfactant, and as a fabric waterproofing agents
