In a process for preparing a supported hydrogenation catalyst with increased hydrogenation activity, which comprises a hydrogenating metal and/or an oxide of a hydrogenating metal on an AlO-containing support material, said calcined supported hydrogenation catalyst is treated before or after the final shaping thereof and before use thereof in the hydrogenation with a base solution having a pH of &#x3e;10 at a temperature in the range from 20 to 120&#xb0; C. for 1 to 300 hours.

Method for producing a supported hydrogenation catalyst having increased hydrogenation activity

The invention relates to a catalyst provided in the form of an extrudate, which contains 5 to 85% by weight of copper oxide and comprises, in the active material and as binders, the same oxidic carrier material. The invention also relates to the use of the catalyst for hydrogenating carbonyl compounds.

Catalyst extrudates based on copper oxide and their use for hydrogenating carbonyl compounds

Catalyst in the form of an extrudate which comprises from 5 to 85% by weight of copper oxide and in which the same oxidic support material is present in the active composition and as binder, and the use of the catalyst for the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds.
