The present invention relates to an improved process for the hydrogenation of aromatics in hydrocarbon feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds as impurities, the aromatics hydrogenation being conducted in a hydrogenation reactor in the presence of a nickel based catalyst. The improvement comprises operating the hydrogenation reactor at a reaction temperature sufficiently high from the start of a run, that the thiopheneic compounds are decomposed and substantially absorbed into the bulk of the nickel catalyst, thereby substantially extending the life of the catalyst.

Process for hydrogenation of aromatics in hydrocarbon feedstocks containing thiopheneic compounds

A stabilized polymer composition comprising a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon, and a melt stabilizing agent comprising of at least one compound having at least one or more hydroxyl group. A process for preparing the composition and articles of manufacture produced from the composition are also disclosed.
