Onenhighly active supported nickel catalyst based onnAlumina has a nickel content of about 20 to 70 wt .-%n(as Ni) and optionally contains a bindernand optionally a promoter selected from compoundsnof Mg, Ti, Pb, Pt, Ba, Ca and / or Cu, wherein the sizenthe Ni crystallites in the reduced state in the range of about 3.5nto 4.5 nm and the distortion factor of the Ni crystallites is aboutn2 to 5%. In a method of reducing thenContent of sulfur compounds of hydrocarbon-basednFuels by selective adsorption of the sulfur compoundsna nickel catalyst is based on a nickel catalystnof alumina, especially that described above.nAn alumina-based nickel catalyst can be used to reducenthe content of sulfur compounds of hydrocarbonsnbased fuels by selective adsorption of the sulfur compoundsnbe used on it and / or for the hydrogenation of aromatics. |
