Abstract A detailed mass transfer analysis was developed both theoretically and experimentally for the heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of methyl oleate using a Ni/silica catalyst in a slurry reactor. The results indicate that, at the conditions studied, working with stirring rate between 1400 and 2000 rpm, catalyst particle size below 50 µm, and catalyst weight below 1.11 g assured the kinetic regime for the reaction.
