Abstract

Free oleic acid is emulsified in water and oxidized using potassium permanganate, to azelaic and pelargonic acids together with dihydroxy-, ketohydroxy-and diketo-stearic acids at neutral pH. The yield and the products distribution are controlled by: the type of emulsifier and its concentration; the oleic acid concentration in the emulsion; and the oleic acid-oxidant ratio.
