Procedimiento

In the second precipitation process, a solution of zinc sulfate (0.0163 mol) dissolved in water (100 mL) was added to the mixture of potassium stearate, zinc hydroxide and graphite. This resulted in immediate precipitation of zinc stearate and gave the zinc active mass as a gray precipitate where the zinc stearate, zinc hydroxide and graphite were present as an intimate mixture. This final precipitated mixture was heated to 70° C. and stirred for a further 10 minutes. Upon cessation of stirring, the active mass mixture settled as a uniformly gray material with no stratification consistent with a homogenous mass. After cooling to room temperature, this active mass was filtered and washed with water. The active mass was used immediately without drying.
