The invention relates to a method for preparing a hydrogenation catalyst or catalyst precursor comprising a catalytically active material and a carrier material. The method involves the mixing of an acidic solution comprising metal ions of a metal selected from the IUPAC group 8, 9 or 10 metals, preferably cobalt, a suspension comprising the carrier material and an alkaline solution. The invention also relates to a precursor of a hydrogenation catalyst wherein the precursor comprises crystallites of metal oxides having an average size of max. 8 nm.

Hydrogenation catalyst and method for preparing the same

The invention relates to a process for preparing a catalyst, which comprises: mixing a copper salt containing solution with a silicate salt containing composition resulting in a precipitated solid; and subjecting the precipitated solid to a temperature in the range of from 150 to 500&#xb0; C. Further, the invention relates to a copper containing catalyst obtainable by said process. Still further, the invention relates to a hydrogenation process wherein such copper containing catalyst is used, more in particular a process wherein methyl phenyl ketone is hydrogenated into methyl phenyl carbinol.

Preparation and use of copper containing hydrogenation catalyst

The invention relates to a method for preparing a catalyst or catalyst precursor comprising a catalytically active material and a carrier material. The invention relates to a catalyst particle and catalyst precursor thereof obtainable by said method. The catalyst may be used in a process for synthesising hydrocarbons.
