Abstract
Provided herein is a novel process for producing shaped catalyst bodies in which a mixture having aluminum contents of Al±0 in the range from 80 to 99.8% by weight, based on the mixture used, is used to form a specific intermetallic phase, shaped catalyst bodies obtainable by the process of the invention, a process for producing an active catalyst fixed bed including the shaped catalyst bodies provided herein, the active catalyst fixed beds and also the use of these active catalyst fixed beds for the hydrogenation of organic hydrogenatable compounds or for formate degradation.
Claims16
A process for producing a shaped catalyst body, comprising the following steps:
- a) provisioning a shaped metal foam body comprising at least one first metal selected from the group consisting of Ni, Fe, Co, Cu, Cr, Pt, Ag, Au, and Pd, and
- b) impregnating the surface of the shaped metal foam body with
- b1) a binder, and
- subsequently or simultaneously, with a mixture as a second component, wherein the mixture comprises from 80 to 99.8% by weight of Al±0, based on the mixture, and
- c) thermally treating under reducing conditions the impregnated shaped metal foam body obtained in step b) so that intermetallic phases in the form of alloys of the metal of the shaped metal foam body from step a) and the aluminum from the mixture of the second component as per step b) are formed on at least part of the surface.
