Abstract
A nickel/aluminum oxide catalyst having a nickel content from 10 to 60% by weight, based on the total catalyst, in which the nickel is in the form of crystallites having an average diameter ranging from 15 nm to 50 nm.
Claims5
A nickel/aluminum oxide catalyst having a nickel content of from 10 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the catalyst, said nickel being present as crystallites which have an average diameter of from 15 nm to 50 nm, and wherein the catalyst has a pore volume ranging from 0.3 to 0.75 cm.sup.3 /g, and further wherein from 5-15%, 20-70%, 25-85%, and from 15 to 75% of the pore volume of the catalyst is contributed by pores having a diameter .ltoreq.2, .ltoreq.50, .ltoreq.100 and of greater than 100 nm respectively.
