Hydrogenation

Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction in which unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms are reduced by attachment of a hydrogen atom to each carbon. The process thus results in the saturation of the carbon atoms, meaning that each carbon atom has 4 other atoms attached to it. Numerous important applications are found in the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.
