Hydrogenation of oil takes place in a/an ____________________ reactor ?
Correct answer: B. Trickle bed
- A. Autothermal
- B. Trickle bed
- C. Plug flow
- D. None of these
Explanation
Vegetable-oil hydrogenation commonly uses a trickle-bed reactor, where liquid oil and hydrogen pass over a fixed bed of catalyst particles. Plug-flow and autothermal describe other reactor characteristics, not the standard reactor choice here.
