A catalyst comprising nickel on a TiO 2 support is obtainable by coprecipitation of n nickel and n at least one further metal selected from among Si, Zr, Hf, alkaline earth metals, Y, La and Ce, and n optionally at least one dopant metal selected from groups 5 to 11 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, n from a solution in which the corresponding metal salts are present onto a particulate TiO 2 support, subsequent drying, calcination and reduction and optionally passivation to give the nickel-containing catalyst. n It is used, in particular, for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatic compounds. |
