Abstract
Abstract N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)oleamide (NHEO) was synthesized using oleic acid and diethanolamine in 1:1 molar ratio using orthophosphoric acid as catalyst. The reaction kinetics at 140°C has been evaluated. The latter follows a first order reaction rate which is in accordance with the reaction mechanism proposed. Yield optimization has been performed implementing an L4 Taguchi orthogonal array. The chemical analysis, rheological behavior and stabilizing ability of the product for metal and metal oxide slurries has been investigated.
