Abstract

A process of selectively hydrogenating an impurity in a feed containing hydrocarbons, such as, for example, an impurity selected from the group consisting of acetylene compounds, dienes, and mixtures thereof in a feed containing at least one monoolefin and the impurity wherein the impurity is hydrogenated selectively in the presence of a selective hydrogenation catalyst supported on a particulate support. The supported catalyst is supported on a mesh-like structure.
