The present invention relates to a method for preparing paraffin, and can provide a method for preparing paraffin including a hydrogenation step of by-products of a process for preparing linear alpha olefins. Since the method for preparing paraffin of the present invention can convert the by-products of the process for preparing linear alpha olefins to paraffin at a high conversion ratio, it is possible to increase the added value of the by-products.

Paraffin compositions including mainly even carbon number paraffins, and a method for manufacturing the same, is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the method involves contacting naturally occurring fatty acid/glycerides with hydrogen in a slurry bubble column reactor containing bimetallic catalysts with equivalent particle diameters from about 10 to about 400 micron. The even carbon number compositions are particularly useful as phase change material.
