Abstract
Abstract Supported catalysts comprised of one or more metals of Group VIII, optionally one or more metals from Group IB and IIA, aluminum and silicate are used for hydrogenating hydrogenatable organic compounds. The catalysts can be produced by coprecipitating metal ions from Group VIII, optionally metal ions from Groups IB and IIA, aluminum ions, and silicate ions, in the presence of solid porous particles.
