Die Wechselwirkung Laurin- und Stearinsäure/Ni-NiO-System des Katalysators

The Interaction between Lauric and Stearic Acid and the Ni-NiO Catalyst System The reactivity of the Ni-NiO catalytic system of following degrees of reduction: 0, 35–65 and 100% Ni with the pure chemical quality lauric and stearic acids during the catalyst passivating conditions 75–115°C were followed in the time period 0–100 hours. The quantity of interaction product of nickel salts of fatty acids in the catalyst is controlled both of the initial reactivity of the Ni-NiO system with the fatty acids and of the kinetics of the zero reaction order. Although the lauric acid is expressively more reactive than the stearic acid, the activity of the in this way prepared catalysts tested in hydrogenation of free fatty acids did not show significant differences.
