The Effect of the Active Component Content on the Catalytic Activity of Nickel Sulfide Catalysts in Olefin Synthesis from Stearic Acid

详细

The effect of active component content on the catalytic activity of supported sulfide catalysts in the synthesis of C₁₇ olefins from stearic acid has been studied. It has been shown that an increase in the nickel content leads to a decrease in the catalyst activity; in addition, there is a negative correlation between the activity and the fraction of large particles on the support surface. The highest heptadecene selectivity (50–60%) is observed for alumina-supported catalysts owing to the higher degree of dispersion of the active component.
