Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene in Liquid Phase: A Novel Process

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Catalytic and Process Study of the Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene and 1,3-Butadiene

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 678 Accesses

Abstract

The industrial process of the selective hydrogenation of acetylene uses a gas-phase reaction with supported Pd or Pd–Ag catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor. The front-end process requires less equipment investment and a simpler process flow than the tail-end process.
