| | Catalyst and processes for the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds in hydrocarbon streams - US Patent ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | These hydrocarbon streams frequently contain unsaturated compounds, the presence of which is known to give rise to problems, in particular during processing and/or storage, or which are not the desired product, and which therefore are undesired components of the corresponding hydrocarbon streams. |
 | | In the processing of C5+ streams (CS+: hydrocarbons having at least 5 carbon atoms, pyrolysis gasoline), di- and polyenes, such as pentadiene and cyclopentadiene, alkynes and/or aromatics having unsaturated substituents, such as phenylacetylene and styrene, are undesired in the production and processing of aromatics or carburetor fuel. |
 | | Processes for the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds in hydrocarbon streams containing them are known both in the form of liquid-phase hydrogenation or mixed gas/liquid-phase hydrogenation, by the trickle-bed or liquid-phase procedure, and in the form of pure gas-phase hydrogenation, various process engineering measures for improving the selectivity having been published. |
