Abstract
A process is described for the high-efficiency selective hydrogenation of an aromatic hydrocarbon cut which also contains monoolefinic hydrocarbons and polyolefinic and/or acetylenic hydrocarbons with a bromine number of 10000 to 100 mg per 100 g of product with an aromatic degree of conversion which is limited to a maximum of 0.15% by weight, the process being characterized in that the cut, which is at least partially in the liquid phase, is passed with hydrogen into a hydrogenation zone in contact with a catalyst containing 0.1% to 1% by weight (with respect to the support) of palladium, the catalyst having been treated before activation with at least one organic sulphur-containing compound to introduce 0.05% to 1% of sulphur (by weight with respect to the weight of the catalyst), the process being carried out at a temperature in the range 20.degree. C. to 25.degree. C., at a pressure of 4-50 bar, a GHSV of 0.2-25 h.sup.-1 and with a H.sub.2 /monoolefin +polyolefin and/or acetylenes ratio in the range 0.3 to 100.
