The invention discloses a preparation process of stearate, which is a preparation method for preparing stearate by directly reacting metal oxide or hydroxide with stearic acid. The process has the advantages of short flow, less equipment consumption, low investment, no waste liquid generation, environmental pollution elimination, saving of a large amount of caustic soda, product cost reduction, less process loss of raw materials, contribution to improving the product yield, and the yield of the finished stearate being 98 percent or more calculated by stearic acid. In addition, no other salt isgenerated in the preparation process, and the stearate product has low inorganic salt content, so that the quality of the product is improved, and the technical scheme disclosed by the invention is suitable for popularization and application.
