Abstract
More selective and efficient Ni hydrotreating catalysts are those which contain more than about 60% of the Ni content on the peripheral surface of porous supports, such as extruded alumina, which may be obtained by spraying an atomized solution of a Ni compound onto the support and drying it at a temperature in the range of from 200 to 600° C. When used, for example, to remove acetylenic compounds from butadiene streams, higher recovery of the desired butadiene with lower acetylenic content and low heavy polymer deposition is obtained than was possible with prior catalysts.
Claims8
A process of selectively hydrogenating acetylenic compounds comprising contacting said acetylenic compounds with a catalyst in a reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen under conditions of temperature and pressure to at least partially hydrogenate said acetylenic compounds to the corresponding compounds having less unsaturation than said acetylenic compounds, wherein the catalyst comprises Ni deposited on a porous support having more than about 60% of the Ni deposited on the outer periphery of said porous support.
A process of selectively hydrogenating acetylenic compounds comprising contacting said acetylenic compounds with a catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under conditions of temperature and pressure to at least partially hydrogenate said acetylenic compounds to the corresponding compounds having less unsaturation than said acetylenic compounds, wherein the catalyst comprises Ni deposited on a porous support having more than about 60% of the Ni deposited on the outer periphery of said porous support, and wherein the catalyst comprises one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cu, Pd, Re, Zn, Mg, Mo or Bi.
