  • Hydrogenation process
    Patent number: 5866734
    Abstract: In a process for the hydrogenation of multiply unsaturated C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 hydrocarbons, in particular C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 -alkynes and/or C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 -alkynenes and/or C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 -alkadienes in fluids comprising these by contact with a catalyst packing in the presence of free hydrogen, the catalyst packing can be produced by applying at least one substance which is active as catalyst and/or promoter to woven or knitted meshes or foils as support material.
