Metal hydrates and salts of carboxylic acids
-
, (2008/06/13)
A metal salt of a carboxylic acid is formed by contacting a carboxylic acid with an activated metal. The activated metal is formed by combining a first metal with a second metal which has an affinity for hydrogen in the presence of a proton source. Typically, an activated aluminum is formed from a highly pure aluminum rod combined with an alloy of indium and gallium in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The addition of excess water in the presence of the carboxylic acid and activated metals forms a polymeric metal salt from a water soluble carboxylic acid.
