This step is also referred to below as watering. The carrier thus treated is then dried at the temperatures indicated above.

- the carrier material can be suspended in the aqueous solution of the ruthenium precursor and filtered off from the aqueous supernatant after a certain time.
- the ruthenium content of the catalyst can then be controlled in a simple manner via the amount of liquid taken up and the ruthenium concentration of the solution.
- the support material can also be impregnated, for example, by treating the support with a defined amount of the aqueous solution of the ruthenium precursor which corresponds to the maximum amount of liquid which the support material can hold.
- the liquid can be sprayed onto the carrier material, for example.

- Monolithic supports are usually rinsed with the aqueous solutions of the ruthenium precursor.
- the aqueous solutions used for impregnation are halogen-free, ie they contain no or less than 100 ppm halogen. Therefore, only ruthenium compounds that do not contain chemically bound halogen and that are sufficiently soluble in the aqueous solvent are used as ruthenium precursors.

In many cases, therefore, a halogen-free mineral acid, e.g. B.
- the concentration of the ruthenium precursor in the aqueous solutions naturally depends on the amount of ruthenium precursor to be applied and the absorption capacity of the carrier material for the aqueous solution and is generally in the range from 0.1 to 20% by weight.
- Drying can be carried out using the customary methods of drying solids while maintaining the above-mentioned temperatures. Compliance with the upper limit of the drying temperatures according to the invention is important for the quality, i.e. the activity of the catalyst is important. Exceeding the drying temperatures given above leads to a significant loss of activity. Calcining the support at higher temperatures, e.g. Above 300 ° C or even 400 ° C, as proposed in the prior art, is not only superfluous but also has a disadvantageous effect on the activity of the catalyst.
- the drying of the solid impregnated with the ruthenium precursor usually takes place under normal pressure. A reduced pressure can also be used to promote the drying. Often, to promote drying, a gas stream will be passed over or through the material to be dried, e.g. Air or nitrogen.
- the drying time naturally depends on the desired degree of drying and the drying temperature and is generally in the range from 2 h to 30 h, preferably in the range from 4 h to 15 h.

- the saccharide solution is brought into contact with the support material before the hydrogenation, ie before it comes into contact with the ruthenium catalyst. The purpose of this is that the saccharide solution becomes saturated on the support material, ie above all on silicon dioxide, and as a result less support material is released from the catalyst, which has an advantageous effect on the service life (service life) of the catalyst.
- the saccharide solution can be brought into contact with the carrier material in a number of ways, for example by suspending the powdery carrier material in the saccharide solution or by passing the saccharide solution through shaped bodies made of carrier material.
- the passage of the saccharide solution through silica strands is a particularly preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, in particular if the solution is pressed under pressure through tubes filled with silica strands.
- Another advantage of the method according to the invention results from the fact that when the saccharide solution is pressed through the silica strands, any oligomeric sugars still present in the saccharide solution are retained and the purity of the sugar alcohol formed is thus increased. This can be observed particularly when using starch hydrolyzates as saccharides.
