摘要

"CONTINUOUS SELECTIVE REDUCTION OF EDIBLE OILS AND FATS"ABSTRACTA method of selective continuous hydrogenation of ediblefats and oils over a fixed catalyst bed utilizes zerovalent metalselected from Group VIII of the Periodic Table supported on lowsurface area alpha-alumina. Partial hydrogenation of soybean oilto an IV of about 110 can be successfully performed using alpha-alumina of surface area less than about 5 m2/g to afford a productwhose SFI is acceptable for end product use.
