KUPFER-NICKEL-KATALYSATOR, VERFAHREN ZU SEINER HERSTELLUNG UND DESSEN VERWENDUNG

摘要

A copper-nickel catalyst containing on an inert, refractory carrier metallic copper and nickel as active component bound to the carrier, characterized in that (a) the catalyst contains at least 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the catalyst, of metallic copper, (b) the catalyst contains less than 20% by weight of metallic nickel, based on the total weight of metallic copper and metallic nickel, the catalyst containing at least 1% by weight of metallic nickel, based on the total weight of the catalyst, (c) at least 80% by weight of the nickel is alloyed in the metallic copper, (d) the copper-nickel-alloy is present on the carrier in small metal particles with an average particle size of less than 14 nm. The invention also relates to the production of this catalyst and to its use for the reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen.
