Is sodium oleate an organic compound
Sodium oleate, or sodium oleic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. Aqueous sodium oleate (NaOl) solutions show interesting micellar behavior, markedly dependent on concentration, temperature, and pH. NaOl forms a transparent nonviscous solution at pH ∼ 9.5, which transforms into a highly viscous (gel-like) fluid at pH ∼ 12, followed by phase separation at pH ∼ 13. After the treatment of NaOl/TDM, the characteristic peaks of NaOl show that it is adsorb
