Reaction Steps

A tubular reactor of 2.0 cm in inner diameter and 10 cm in length was packed with 20 g of carrier-supported nickel catalyst. Hydrogenation was carried out by feeding into the reactor the 50 wt % squalene solution in isooctane and hydrogen gas to obtain a squalane solution in isooctane. Samples were taken out for 30 hours after the temperature was stabilized at 210° C.
