Abstract

To furnish high-quality poly-alpha-olefi n oils, hydro-fi nishing under mild reaction conditions by a novel heterogeneous

catalyst was accomplished. In this regard, Pd nanoparticles were immobilized on Boehmite. Then, the eff ect of hydrogenation

variables, i.e., catalytic loading, reaction pressure, and temperature on the catalytic effi ciency, was investigated with

response surface method. According to the results, a hydrogenation effi ciency of 85% was obtained at the optimum reaction

conditions of T = 130 °C, P = 8 bar, and catalyst dosage = 5 wt%. Notably, the catalyst was recyclable for four runs with

insignifi cant leaching of palladium nanoparticles. The comparison results suggested Pd/Boehmite catalyst as an appropriate

alternative to the commercial Pd/Alumina and Pd/Silica. Hot fi ltration test also approved heterogeneous nature of catalysis.
