Abstract:
A process for preparing a catalyst composition useful in contacting a hydrocarbon-containing fluid which comprises a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon, in the presence of hydrogen, with said catalyst composition in a hydrogenation zone under a hydrogenation condition effective to hydrogenate said highly unsaturated hydrocarbon to a less unsaturated hydrocarbon wherein said process for preparing said catalyst composition comprises:(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.
