An ammonia synthesis catalyst precursor having a high BET surface area and containing oxides of iron, cobalt, aluminium, and an alkali metal of atomic number equal to, or greater than, 19. On reduction the precursor gives a catalyst having a high initial activity relative to that of a catalyst obtained by reduction of a standard fused, cobalt-free, precursor. The precursors may be made by precipitation followed by calcination. |
