Fill in the blank: _____ molecular weight olefins are generally hydrogenated in the liquid phase.(a) Lower(b) Higher(c) Moderate(d) None of the mentionedThe question was posed to me at a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from Catalytic Hydrogenation in portion Hydrogenation of Unit Processes

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) Higher

To ELABORATE: Higher-molecular-weight olefins are GENERALLY hydrogenated in the liquid phase unless their volatility is SUFFICIENT at the temperature of hydrogenation (150-200°C), in which case the reaction MAY be conducted in the vapour phase.
