Summary
-
1.
The relation of the activities and stabilities of nickel-alumina catalysts to the character of the macrostructure of the alumina was studied.
-
2.
A particularly high specific surface is not necessary for a carrier of a highly active nickel-alumina catalyst; its dehydrogenating activity is determined mainly by the character of the porosity of the carrier.
-
3.
Catalysts prepared by the deposition of nickel on coarsely porous alumina have high activities and stabilities, but those having a finely porous alumina as carrier have considerably lower activities.
