HYDROGENATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS

Process for hydrogenating aromatic compounds over a solid catalyst in the presence of a hydrogen-containing gas comprising a first reactor operated in loop mode, a second reactor operated in straightpass, at least a part of the output of the first reactor is supplied to the second reactor, characterized in that the first reactor is configured as a trickle bed reactor and is operated in trickle bed mode and the second reactor is operated such that the catalyst present therein is partially flooded. 本发明涉及一种在存在含氢气体的条件下在固体催化剂上氢化芳香族化合物的方法，该方法包括：以循环模式运行的第一反应器；以直通运行的第二反应器，至少一部分第一反应器的排出物被送入第二反应器中，其特征在于，第一反应器设计为喷淋床反应器，并以喷淋床模式运行，以及如此运行第二反应器，使得包含在第二反应器中的催化剂部分地被浸没。
