Abstract
Abstract
Catalytic conversion of citronellal to citronellol was performed via hydrogenation over skeletal Ni catalyst. The reaction parameters applied include variation of reactant-catalyst ratio, reaction temperature, pressure, and time. Citronellal 78 % obtained from the fractionation of citronella oil was used as the reactant. The reaction was carried out using reactant-catalyst ratio of 1:5 % and 1:10 % at temperatures of 100 °C, 150 °C and 200 °C and pressure of 10 bar, 15 bar and 20 bar for 1 and 3 hours. Results show that the optimum reaction condition was at 100 °C with reactant-catalyst ratio of 1:10 % under pressure of 20 bar for 1 hour giving 100 % conversion of citronellal, 51.78 % yield of citronellol and 40.39 % selectivity.
