Abstract
A catalyst composition comprising a uniform dispersion of individual metallic palladium particles, substantially free of clusters of said particles, on and throughout an alumina aerogel support, said composition having a BET surface area in the range of about 20 to about 700 m.sup.2 /g, a pore volume in the range of about 1.5 to about 12 cm.sup.3 /g, a bulk density in the range of about 0.003 to about 0.5 g/cm.sup.3 and having a Pd.degree./Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 weight ratio of about 1:1000 to about 1:5 is disclosed. A process of preparing the catalyst composition having metallic palladium impregnated on alumina aerogel and a process of using same as a hydrogenation catalyst are also disclosed.
