Abstract
AbstractA complete kinetic study was performed for the hydrogenation of vegetable oil using a powder and a monolithic Pt catalyst. The experimental studies were carried out at a wide interval of H2 pressure, temperature, and catalyst loading using Pt/γ‐Al2O3 powder catalyst in a slurry reactor and Pt/Al2O3/Al‐structured catalyst in a monolithic stirrer reactor. The mathematical model for the reactors includes the hydrogenation and isomerization reactions, the external gas‐liquid and liquid‐solid mass transfer as well as the internal mass transfer. Four kinetic models were evaluated for both catalysts. The best fit of the experimental data was obtained by adopting a Langmuir‐Hinshelwood kinetic model for the liquid reactant and a dissociative adsorption and zero‐order reaction for H2.
