Catalytic hydrogenation of vegetable oils: II. The activity of the prereduced copper chromite catalyst

Abstract

The prereduction of copper chromite with hydrogen produces a strong deactivation of catalyst in soybean oil hydrogenation at 200 C and 6 atm. ESCA studies and kinetic data show that the decrement of the activity is correlated to the disappearance of Cu″ and Cu′ species and to the decrement of Cu/Cr ratio on the catalyst surface. The comparison of activity between original and prereduced catalysts allows a better elucidation of the role of Cu′ in promoting the double bond conjugation and of Cu° in catalyzing the conjugated double bond hydrogenation.
