Benzene hydrogenation over mono- and bimetallic catalysts based on Group 8 metals on various supports in the temperature range 25-200o C and pressures of 0.5-4 MPa has been investigated. Bimetallic catalysts were tested in the hydrodearomatization of gasoline fractions from Atyrau Refinery plant. It is shown that after the reaction of benzene was completely removed from gasoline, content of aromatics, olefins and paraffins is significantly decreased and isoparaffins content increased.
