Abstract

Soap may be defined as the sodium or potassium salt of the acids that are found in fats. The metallic soaps are those soaps or salts of the metallic bases other than sodium or potassium. The Study of the preparation, properties and uses of metallic soaps is rather an old one, most of the research along that line being done during the last quartile of the nineteenth century. Nothing of any importance has been done of late years in this field of research. Nearly all the work has been done by foreign investigators. The metallic soaps of oleic acid are the most important from a commercial point of view.
