Abstract

A process for the preparation of soap and soap/synthetic detergent products from raw materials normally employed in the manufacture of such products including fatty acids, triglycerides and caustic or alkali by subjecting such raw materials to intensive countercurrent mixing whereby saponification takes place in a relatively short time to yield a product, preferably in granular or powder form, which requires no further drying for most uses. The resulting product can, if desired, be then subjected to plodding, extrusion and stamping to form soap in bar form. The starting material can also be a mixture of such raw materials where neutralization has proceeded to some degree, preferably the neat soap stage.
