Abstract
Paraffin compositions including mainly even carbon number paraffins, and a method for manufacturing the same, is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the method involves contacting naturally occurring fatty acid/glycerides with hydrogen in a slurry bubble column reactor containing bimetallic catalysts with equivalent particle diameters from about 10 to about 400 micron. The even carbon number compositions are particularly useful as phase change material.
Claims11
A phase change material composition comprising at least 75 wt % even carbon number paraffins, wherein the paraffins are produced by hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis of naturally occurring fatty acids and esters.
