a. (I) at least one catalyst support or catalyst support precursor; (Ii) at least one metal-containing compound selected from the group consisting of V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo and W; and (iii) acting as a solvent for the metal-containing compound Preparing a liquid mixture of at least one polar organic compound, wherein the liquid mixture contains 0 to 20% by weight of water, based on the total weight of the mixture. ; b. Converting the mixture to a paste or solid residue; and c. Combusting the residue in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to at least partially convert the organic compound to carbon and form a supported catalyst or catalyst precursor; A process for producing a supported catalyst or catalyst precursor containing carbon containing |
