Procedure

3.4 g of behenic acid was dissolved in 100 ml of benzene at 60° C., and the temperature of this solution was adjusted to 60° C. 100 ml of water was added to the above solution with stirring to form an emulsion. 100 ml of an aqueous solution of silver ammonium complex, which was prepared by adding aqueous to about 80 ml of an aqueous solution containing 1.7 g of silver nitrate, and then adding water to the aqueous solution to make the total volume one liter, was then added to the above emulsion. Crystallites of silver behenate were obtained.
