Abstract
An improved continuous process of producing fatty alcohols by a catalytic hydrogenation of fatty acids wherein hydrogen is fed and distributed into the annular space through nozzles which are specially designed to effect a pressure loss of 15 to 30 bars is disclosed. Guide tubes having specific dimensions are disposed above said nozzles. The feedstock to be treated and the catalyst dispersion are fed separately. The new process results in milder conditions for the catalyst and in a higher throughput rate.
