Catalysts for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and preparations and uses thereof

Abstract

Disclosed are catalysts for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons comprising at least one carrier, at least one active metallic component supported on the at least one carrier, and at least one silane group; and wherein the at least one active metallic component is chosen from palladium, platinum, nickel, copper, and ruthenium; the at least one silane group is grafted to the catalyst by silylation and is present in an amount ranging from 0.05% to 25% by weight relative to the total weight of the catalyst. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation of the catalysts and processes using the catalysts for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
