Reaction Steps

A tubular reactor of 1.2 cm in inner diameter and 10 cm in length was packed with 10 g of carrier-supported nickel catalyst. Hydrogenation was carried out by feeding into the reactor the n-hexane solution of squalene and hydrogen gas to obtain a squalane solution in n-hexane. Samples were taken out for 30 hours after the temperature was stabilized at 200° C.
