Abstract
The effects of catalyst concentration and of temperature on linolenate selectivity,trans formation, and rate of hydrogenation have been studied for a commercial electrolytic nickel catalyst. Results obtained with an equimixture of linoleate and linolenate, following the procedure previously described, are presented as isometric drawings, which cover the experimentally practicable temperature ranges from 70–230C and nickel concentration from 0.05–10%. Whereas the rate of hydrogenation depends upon both temperature and catalyst concentration,trans formation is essentially a function of temperature while selectivity is little influenced by either parameter.
