Claims
- 1. A hydrocarbon hydrogenation process comprising contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock containing aromatics, olefins, or aromatics and olefins with a catalyst under superatmospheric conditions; wherein the concentration of said aromatics, olefins or aromatics and olefins in the product is reduced in relation to the concentration in the feedstock; and wherein said catalyst comprises two noble metals and is supported on a support material comprising an inorganic, porous crystalline phase material having pores with diameters of at least about 13 Angstrom Units and exhibiting, after calcination, an X-ray diffraction pattern with at least one peak at a d-spacing greater than about 18 Å with a relative intensity of 100, and having a benzene sorption capacity greater than about 15 grams benzene per 100 grams of said material at 50 torr and 25° C.
- 2. The hydrocarbon hydrogenation process according to claim 1, wherein said noble metals are selected from the group consisting of Pd, Pt, Rh and Ir.
- 3. The hydrocarbon hydrogenation process according to claim 1, wherein said crystalline phase material is a metallosilicate or an aluminosilicate.
- 4. The hydrocarbon hydrogenation process according to claim 1, wherein said catalyst includes at least 0.1 weight percent of said noble metals.
