| abstract |
The present invention relates to a process for hydrogenating one or more organic compounds, especially unsaturated organic compounds, by bringing the compound into contact with the hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one catalytically active metal applied to the porous catalyst support. One or more catalytically active metals have been derived via the decomposed organic complexes of the metal on the support, in particular the amine complexes of the metals. The decomposed complex can be treated with hydrogen to activate the catalyst before use as a hydrogenation catalyst. |
