Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing fatty alcohols, in which a stream comprising at least one fatty acid triglyceride is provided and this stream is subjected to a hydrogenation in the presence of a heterogeneous copper catalyst.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for preparing fatty alcohols comprising a) providing a stream comprising at least one fatty acid triglyceride, b) subjecting the stream comprising the fatty acid triglyceride to a hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst, wherein said catalyst is an oxidic material consisting of copper, aluminum, and lanthanum, and said catalyst is used for said hydrogenation, and c) isolating at least one fatty alcohol-containing fraction from the hyd…
