The present invention relates to an eggshell catalyst comprising an active metal selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, platinum and mixtures thereof, applied to a support material comprising silicon dioxide, wherein the pore volume of the support material is 0.6 to 1.0 ml/g, determined by Hg porosimetry, the BET surface area is 280 to 500 m/g, and at least 90% of the pores present have a diameter of 6 to 12 nm, to a process for preparing this eggshell catalyst, to a process for hydrogenating an organic compound which comprises at least one hydrogenatable group using the eggshell catalyst, and to the use of the eggshell catalyst for hydrogenating an organic compound.

Catalyst and process for hydrogenating aromatics

The present invention relates to a process for preparing fatty alcohols, in which a stream comprising at least one fatty acid triglyceride is provided and this stream is subjected to a hydrogenation in the presence of a heterogeneous copper catalyst.

Process for producing fatty alcohols by hydrogenation of fatty acid triglycerides on a copper-containing heterogeneous catalyst

The present invention relates to a method of regenerating a ruthenium catalyst suitable for hydrogenation, which comprises flushing the catalyst with inert gas in a regeneration step until the original activity or part of the original activity has been attained. The method is particularly useful for ruthenium catalysts which are used for the hydrogenation of aromatics.

Method of regenerating ruthenium catalysts suitable for hydrogenation

The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing para-alkyl-substituted cyclohexylmethanols, especially 4-isopropylcyclohexylmethanol, by catalytically hydrogenating the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in the presence of hydrogen and in the presence of a catalyst which comprises, as an active metal, ruthenium applied to a support, the support comprising AlOand/or SiO, and the catalyst being used in the form of a fixed bed catalyst in a hydrogenation reactor or in a plurality of hydrogenation reactors connected in series.
