Why is methanol used in the methyl ester process route for producing C18–C16 fatty alcohols?

2016-03-29View Original

Thread Content

I can understand that the hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl esters to alcohols is a reversible exothermic reaction; by adding methanol during production, the amount of reactants increases, which can suppress the progress of the reaction and control its rate, thereby helping to regulate the temperature of the catalyst bed. Are there any other functions?
