Abstract
A selective hydrogenation process is described. The process includes dissolving acetylene and hydrogen in a solvent to form a liquid feedstream. The solvent comprises a mixture of a polar organic solvent and a non-polar organic solvent. The liquid feedstream is contacted with a heterogeneous supported selective hydrogenation catalyst at selective hydrogenation conditions to convert at least a portion of the acetylene to ethylene forming a liquid reaction mixture comprising the ethylene produced.
