Investigation of thymol hydrogenation was a part of novel L-menthol process development. That main objective of the investigation was to collect experimental data for the scale-up of thymol hydrogenation in a trickle bed reactor. It was found that, trickle bed reactor at adiabatic conditions is feasible option for thymol hydrogenation, and for safe scale-up the maximum thymol mass fraction in the feed should be below 15 % wt.

Výzkum hydrogenace thymolu byla součástí vývoje nového procesu syntézy L-mentholu.
