A process is provided for the production of linear saturated alkanes from one or more primary alcohols, wherein the carbon chain of the one or more primary alcohols has one carbon atom more than the alkane, including conducting reductive dehydroxymethylation of one or more primary fatty alcohols containing 8 to 24 carbon atoms, at a temperature ranging from 100 to 300&#xb0; C. and pressures from 1 to 250 bar in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst, and removing water formed during the reaction.

Method for producing hydrocarbons

A process for finishing textiles with oil components is provided, and includes preparing an aqueous oil-in-water emulsion of one or more oil components using one or more alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal soaps of one or more Cfatty acids as emulsifiers; introducing a textile into the aqueous oil-in-water emulsion; and reducing the pH of the aqueous oil-in-water emulsion by adding an acid.

Textile finishing

A process for finishing textiles with skin-care oils including spraying, onto a textile, an aqueous emulsion with a Brookfield viscosity below 200 mPas at 20&#xb0; C., including (a) water; (b) one or more skin-care oils; and (c) one or more emulsifiers is provided.
