Abstract

Jojoba oil was hydrogenated with several nickel and also copper-chromite catalysts under a wide range of temperature, pressure, catalyst concentration, and agitation rates. The reaction was pseudo first order and with nickel catalysts it was controlled by the surface reaction between atomic hydrogen and adsorbed unsaturate. Activation energies varied between 12.8 and 29.5 kcal/mol. Severe poisoning was observed with one of the catalysts tested. Copper-chromite catalysts were not able to hydrogenate the oil, but substantial isomerization was observed.
