Zusammenfassung:Dienes and/or acetylene impurities in an olefin feed; in particular a propylene feed, may be selectively hydrogenated in a single stage by use of a catalyst of palladium supported on alumina which is substantially crystalline alpha alumina, wherein the average pore radius is 200-2000 ANGSTROM with a least 80% of the pores having a pore radius within the range of 100 to 3000 ANGSTROM . The surface acidity of the catalyst is generally from 0.002 to 0.05 millimole of pyridine absorbed per gram of catalyst. The active palladium surface area is from 20 to 200 m2/g. The palladium is in the form of crystallines having an average size of at least 25 ANGSTROM .
