For high-surface area hydrogenation nickel catalyst compositions, a silica carrier obtained by subjecting an alkali water glass to neutralization with sulfuric acid and spray-drying to form the silica carrier which has substantially no tendency to coalesce when used in processes requiring precipitation of an insoluble nickel compound onto the carrier.

High surface area catalyst compositions

The invention is directed to precipitating soluble nickel salts onto catalyst carriers by the addition of urea and reducing the insoluble nickel salt to the free metal to form catalyst-carrier compositions of high specific metal catalyst area wherein the amount of urea added satisfies the following equation
