HOMOGENEOUS, HIGHLY DISPERSED METAL CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A homogeneous, highly dispersed metal catalyst which comprises a catalyst support and a catalyst metal deposited thereon in an almost evenly dispersed state throughout the support. It has excellent performances with respect to catalytic activity, selectivity, life, etc. The homogeneous, highly dispersed metal catalyst is a metal catalyst comprising a catalyst support comprising a metal oxide and, deposited on the support, a catalyst metal having catalytic activity, wherein the catalyst support is a sulfurized catalyst support having sulfur or a sulfur compound almost evenly distributed throughout the support and the catalyst metal is deposited on this sulfurized catalyst support in an almost evenly dispersed state throughout the support almost according to the distribution of the sulfur or sulfur compound.
