Effect of Metal Type on Partial Hydrogenation of Rapeseed Oil-Derived FAME

Abstract

Supported SiO2 catalysts were studied for the partial hydrogenation of rapeseed oil-derived fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) for improving its oxidative stability. The effect of metal type: Pt, Pd, and Ni, on catalytic activity and cis–trans selectivity was investigated. Hydrogenation activity was studied in terms of turn over frequency (TOF) of C18:3, C18:2, C18:1, and C18:0 FAME. The highest TOF of C18:3, C18:2, and C18:1 was found for Pd catalyst. However, C18:0 TOF of Pt is higher than that of the Pd catalyst. The higher in C18:0 TOF can explain the low selectivity towards trans-monounsaturated FAME of the Pt catalyst, which is due to the subsequent hydrogenation of the intermediate trans-monounsaturated to saturated FAME. On the other hand, Ni showed the lowest TOFs when compared with the Pt and Pd catalysts.
