Abstract

Isomerizationreaction was carried outand was studied in detail. Porous Clay is the catalyst for isomerizationof oleic acid .The reaction kinetics are estimated for 5wt% catalyst concentrations, temperature was from 2600C to 2800C.The reaction was carried out forseveral duration ofhours and product was obtained as iso-oleic acid (IOA) along with dimer as simultaneous product. Kinetic studies based on rate data isproposed based on multiple reactions. Residence time distribution for reactant isplotted for F curve and E curve. Yield and conversion has determined 50.5258%and 66.309%respectively.
