PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC FATTY ALCOHOLS BY HYDROGENATION OF FATTY ACIDS

Abstract

In the article, one of the main objectives is to improve the process of hydrogenation of fatty acids in order to obtain higher fatty alcohols, which can subsequently be used as plasticizers for skin substitutes, using them instead of expensive imported products. The article presents graphs of the dependence of the product yield on various reaction parameters and determines the optimal conditions for the hydrogenation process in order to obtain higher fatty alcohols.
