method for the production of a fatty acid ester by sulfur desulphurization from a fatty acid ester using a catalyst, method for the production of an alcohol, and desulphurization method

摘要

a method for the production of a fatty acid ester by sulfur desulfurization from a fatty acid ester using a catalyst, wherein the catalyst carries a catalyst metal on a support, (a) the catalyst contains as the catalyst metal one or more elements selected from the group 9, group 10 and group 11 elements of the periodic table, (b) the total pore volume of the catalyst is 0.05 ml / g or more, and (c) the volume A pore size with a pore size of 0.1 µm or more and 500 µm or less is 50% or more of the total pore volume of the catalyst. A desulphurization method using desulphurization and a method of producing an alcohol by hydrogenating the fatty acid ester obtained through desulphurization are also provided.
