Abstract
A simple approach to model the rate constants and selectivities for soybean oil hydrogenation with nickel catalyst is presented. The rate constant models were constructed on the basis of Arrhenius Law and Power series. The parameters were temperature, hydrogen pressure, concentration of catalyst and agitation expressed in terms of power per unit volume of oil. The models agree with the general knowledge in hydrogenation and the data were fitted fairly well by the models.
