Abstract:
A process comprising contacting a hydrocarbon-containing fluid which comprises a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon, in the presence of hydrogen, with a catalyst composition in a hydrogenation zone under a hydrogenation condition effective to hydrogenate said highly unsaturated hydrocarbon to a less unsaturated hydrocarbon wherein said catalyst composition is prepared by the steps comprising:(1) combining a zeolite, a Group VIB metal, and an inorganic support to form a modified zeolite;(2) calcining said modified zeolite under a calcining condition to produce a calcined, modified zeolite; and(3) contacting said calcined, modified zeolite with a carburizing agent under a carburizing condition to provide said catalyst composition.
