DEF

Líquido oleoso e incoloro [...] en su configuración cis (la cadena de carbono continúa en el mismo lado del doble enlace). Es un ácido graso no saturado que amarillea con rapidez en contacto con el aire. [...] No es soluble en agua, pero sí en benceno, alcohol, éter y otros muchos disolventes orgánicos. Se solidifica por enfriamiento y funde a 14 °C.

CONT

Por hidrogenación del ácido oleico se obtiene el ácido esteárico (saturado). [...] Su isómero trans (ácido elaídico) es sólido y funde a 51 °C; se puede obtener por calentamiento del ácido oleico en presencia de un catalizador. [...] Se utiliza en la fabricación de jabones y cosméticos, en la industria textil y en la limpieza de metales.

OBS

Junto con el ácido esteárico y el ácido palmítico se encuentra, en forma de éster, en la mayoría de las grasas y aceites naturales, sobre todo en el aceite de oliva. Se obtiene por hidrólisis del éster y se purifica mediante destilación.

CONT

Acid cleaning :[the] use of hot acids to remove dirt or polishing residue from diamonds. Newly-mined rough diamonds are cleaned with hydrofluoric acid; newly-polished diamonds are boiled in a solution of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids to remove oil, graphite, and other debris from surface fractures and abrasions. Diamonds which have been mounted in jewelry are sometimes boiled in sulfuric acid to remove metal residue and dirt impregnated in the girdle.

CONT

Boiler: A member of a processing team who is responsible for cleaning the diamonds, during any stage of processing, by using hot or cold acid.
