Abstract

La présente invention concerne un nouveau procédé de fabrication de corps moulés de catalyseur, selon lequel on utilise pour former une phase intermétallique spéciale un mélange qui présente des teneurs en aluminium Al±0 comprises entre 80 et 99,8 % en poids, rapportés au mélange utilisé. L'invention concerne en outre des corps moulés de catalyseur pouvant être obtenus par le procédé selon l'invention, un procédé de fabrication d'un lit fixe de catalyseur actif qui contient les corps moulés de catalyseur selon l'invention, les lits fixes de catalyseur actifs, ainsi que l'utilisation de ces lits fixes de catalyseur actifs pour l'hydrogénation de composés organiques hydrogénables ou pour la décomposition du formiate.
