Abstract
An improvement is provided in a process for making a calcium sulfonate wherein a calcium base/calcium sulfonate mixture is mixed, stirred, reacted with CO.sub.2, and filtered to produce the sulfonate product. The improvement comprises stirring the calcium base/calcium sulfonate mixture at variable speeds over a sufficient length of time, whereby the product's filterability is enhanced and viscosity reduced.
