PROCESS FOR REGENERATING RUTHENIUM CATALYSTS WHICH ARE SUITABLE FOR HYDROGENATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for regenerating a ruthenium catalyst which is suitable for hydrogenation, which comprises flushing the catalyst with inert gas in a regeneration step until the original activity or part of the original activity is attained. The process is particularly suitable for ruthenium catalysts which are used for the hydrogenation of aromatics.
