Abstract: This invention comprises a process for separating oleic acid from a feed mixture comprising an oleic acid and linoleic acid, which process comprises contacting the mixture at separation conditions with a molecular sieve comprising silicalite, thereby selectively retaining the oleic acid. The oleic acid may be recovered from the molecular sieve by displacement with a displacement fluid. The feed mixture may also contain rosin acids in which case a first molecular sieve comprising silicalite is used to separate the fatty acids from the rosin acids.

Abstract: Selective continuous hydrogenations of fatty materials are possible over a fixed bed of zerovalent nickel on an alpha-alumina support. The selectivity of such continuous hydrogenations is further enhanced by performing such hydrogenations in an upflow mode. When soybean oil is used and hydrogenation is continued to an IV of about 110, the resulting partially hydrogenated soybean oil is comparable in its solids content to that obtained in a batch hydrogenation using presently conventional commercial catalysts.
