(54) Title: SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION USING A FLOW INDEX F x [CO] IF 1-1 .4t V i t M ei Formula (I) Ir•-- cc ---- (57) : A process includes hydrogenating, in a reaction zone, a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon received from a hydrocarbon I N 1-1 stream to yield a product having an unsaturated hydrocarbon, the hydrogenating step occurring in the presence of a hydrogenation c:::, catalyst which has a selectivity for conversion of the highly unsaturated hydrocarbon to the unsaturated hydrocarbon of about 90 mol N % or greater based on the moles of the highly unsaturated hydrocarbon which are converted to the product, the hydrogenating step 0 occurring in a reaction zone under conditions which include a flow index (I F ) in a range of about 0.09 to about 35, wherein the I F is ,..f defined as: Formula (1), wherein F is the flow rate of the hydrocarbon stream into the reaction zone in units of kg/h, [CO] is the con - centration of carbon monoxide in the hydrocarbon stream in units of mol%, and V is the volume of the reaction zone in units of ft3.
