      abstract = {This thesis offers novel methods for catalyst and process  design for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene and  1,3-butadiene. The author predicts the properties of  supported Pd–Ni bimetallic catalysts using density  functional theory (DFT) calculations and  temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). The excellent  correlation between model surfaces and supported catalysts  demonstrates the feasibility of designing effective  bimetallic catalysts for selective hydrogenation reactions.  The author also proposes a method for designing  non-precious metal catalysts to replace precious metals.  She modifies the process of selective hydrogenation of  acetylene by coupling the selective adsorption to the  selective hydrogenation in the liquid phase, as a result of  which the ethylene selectivity is greatly improved and heat  transfer is greatly enhanced. Lastly, by analyzing the  mechanism of liquid-phase hydrogenation, the author  proposes a multi-stage slurry bed reactor for industrial  applications.<.},
