The current invention relates a bulk catalyst precursor (i.e. no support material is added as such) comprising Ni and Mo and/or W and an organic component, wherein the molar ratio of C:(Mo+W) ranges from 1.5 to 10. The bulk catalyst precursor is prepared from a mixture of metal-precursors with an organic agent. The organic agent is partly decomposed to form a mixed metal-oxide/C phase which is in effect the bulk catalyst precursor. This bulk catalyst precursor (i) is effectively insoluble in water (ii) does not have any appreciable pore volume or surface area and (iii) does not contain a (nano)crystalline metal-oxide phase as characterized by XRD. A bulk catalyst is made from the bulk catalyst precursor.
A NiW, NiMo or NiMoW bulk catalyst precursor composition comprising nickel oxide, and molybdenum oxide or tungsten oxide or mixtures thereof, and an organic component prepared from an organic additive, wherein the total amount of molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide is at least 30 wt %, the molar ratio of nickel to molybdenum plus tungsten is higher than 0.05, the molar ratio of carbon to molybdenum plus tungsten is between 1.5 and 10;
