METHOD OF PRODUCING NICKEL CATALYST FOR HYDROGENATION Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: catalytic chemistry. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of producing nickel catalyst for hydrogenation of carbon oxides, oxygen and aromatic hydrocarbons. Method involves mixing basic nickel carbonate with alumooxide carrier in the presence of ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution followed by drying, calcination, grinding, mixing with graphite and tabletting. Alumooxide carrier: a mixture of high- and low-temperature forms of aluminium oxide at ratio from 0.05: 0.95 to 0.50:0.50 (as measured for Al₂O₃). Boehmite, pseudoboehmite, hydrargilite, γ-Al₂O₃ or ρ-Al₂O₃ were used as low-temperature form of aluminium oxide and α-Al₂O₃ or θ-Al₂O₃ - as high-temperature form. EFFECT: high activity of catalyst. 1 tbl
