Abstract
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrogenated using a catalyst comprising nickel on a calcium phosphate support. The catalyst can be used in combination with a promoter selected from at least one of barium and uranium. Aromatic compounds such as benzene can be hydrogenated in this process. The catalytic activity of the described catalyst is sufficiently great as to permit hydrogenation under relatively mild conditions, including liquid phase hydrogenation of aromatics, thus prolonging the active life of the catalyst.
