Abstract
The process of the invention is a process for selective hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon feed containing hydrogen and C2+ hydrocarbons, characterized in that it comprises at least one step for separating a fraction of the hydrogen contained in the feed by means of a membrane (step a)) and a step for selective hydrogenation of the effluent from step a) in a reactive column (step b)).
