Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for reacting an aromatic hydrocarbon containing aromatic sulphur compounds, or a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons containing aromatic sulphur compounds, where appropriate in the presence of hydrogen, comprising a first step of removing aromatic sulphur compounds (step a) and a second step of hydrogenating an aromatic hydrocarbon or mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of a supported ruthenium catalyst in the presence of hydrogen (step b).
