Abstract
A supported hydrogenation catalyst composition is disclosed which comprises palladium, an inorganic support such as alumina, and a selectivity enhancer selected from the group consisting of silver, phosphorus, sulfur, and combinations of two or more thereof. Also disclosed is a selective hydrogenation process in which highly unsaturated hydrocarbons such as diolefins and/or alkynes are hydrogenated with hydrogen to less unsaturated hydrocarbons such as monoolefins.
