Developments in the last three decades of kinetics of selective hydrogenation of ethyne in ethene-rich streams on palladium catalysts are reviewed. Most of the studies can be described comprehensively by a model that assumes carbonaceous deposits (i) create irreversibly on the palladium surface small A types of active site (selective to ethene) and large E types of active site (selective to ethane), and (ii) are involved in hydrogenation of ethene on Es sites on the support. The relative importance of these sites, with varying (i) reaction conditions, (ii) palladium dispersion, (iii) process modifiers, and (iv) promoters, is discussed.
