Abstract: | The influence of mass transfer steps in the kinetic study of rapeseed oil hydrogenation in a laboratory reactor was estimated. Hydrogenations were carried out at 140–200 C and at 0.3–10 atm hydrogen pressure in the presence of 0.087% of commercial nickel-on-kieselguhr catalyst, corresponding to 0.05% of nickel. Despite intense mixing conditions on the macroscale of the bulk oil, corresponding to a reaction rate independent of further increase of the stirrer rate, the concentration differences across the liquid film surrounding the bubbles and the catalyst particles could not be neglected. The pore transport of triglycerides and hydrogen molecules was found not to be a slow step in most hydrogenations. |
