A copper-nickel catalyst containing on an inert, refractory carrier metallic copper and nickel as active component bound to the carrier, characterized in that

Copper-nickel catalyst and process for its production

A process for the production of a catalyst containing metallic copper, silver, gold, platinum or palladium in finely divided form as basic metal and at least one metal of Group VIII of the Periodic System of Elements as active component on an inert, refractory support, the catalyst containing the basis metal being heated to a temperature above 100.degree. C. and one or more carbonyls of metals different from the basis metal and belonging to Group VIII of the Periodic System of Elements being allowed to act on the heated catalyst so that those metals are alloyed into the basis metal. The invention also refers to catalysts obtained by such process.
