COMPLEX STUDIES ON INDUSTRIAL NICKEL CATALYSTS

Abstract

Selected results of more than 20 year research work are summarized below. The aim has been to reveal relationships between the metal-H system, the catalysts structure and catalytic properties by using magnetic, electrochemical, TPD and X-ray measurements. Furthermore, a new technique has been introduced for the preparation and industrial production of skeleton catalysts and a triple promoted catalyst has been developed for industrial purposes. The development work has been aided by X-ray, SIMS, electron microprobe analysis measurements.
