The addition of hydrogen to unsaturated hydrocarbon in the presence of catalyst is called hydrogenation. Unsaturated hydrocarbons add hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as palladium or nickel to give saturated hydrocarbons. For example hydrogenation of alkene in presence of nickel catalysts.
Industrial application: Vegetable oils have long unsaturated carbon chains. These on hydrogenation in the presence of nickel catalyst form saturated carbon chains which are animals fats or ghee. Thus ghee on industrial scale is made by hydrogenation of naturally available vegetable oils.
