Batch Heterogeneous Catalytic Selective Hydrogenation of Vegetable Oils Over Lindlar Catalyst: Kinetic Modeling Supported by Reaction Mechanisms. [PDF]
ChemistryOpenHeterogeneous catalytic selective hydrogenation of vegetable oils was modeled by Hougen–Watson approach to obtain kinetic rate laws. Parameters were obtained by nonlinear regressions on batch experimental data, and the best mechanism to interpret those experimental data was chosen on a statistical basis (higher coefficient of determination R2) and by ...
