Abstract: A novel activated fixed-bed Raney nickel catalyst was prepared by extruding Ni-Al alloy powder with 20% pseudo-boehmite as binding material. Appropriate leaching conditions of calcined alloy extrudates were studied by using of benzene hydrogenation activity as the main evaluation factor.Leaching procedures of such calcined alloy extrudates were also tested by contrast with alloy powder,in which released hydrogen and dissolved aluminum in caustic solution were determined.The experimental results showed that the fixed-bed Raney nickel catalyst could achieve higher benzene hydrogenation activity by leaching the alloy extrudates calcined at 860℃ for 2 h with 10%—20% NaOH solution at 80—90℃ for 3—4 h, and that the leaching procedures had significant effect on catalyst compressive strength. The metallic aluminum in calcined alloy extrudates could almost dissolve completely in caustic solution within 1—4 h, and microporous structures appeared on the surface of leached catalysts appear. The results of benzene hydrogenation suggested that the novel fixed-bed Raney nickel catalysts showed higher hydrogenation activity and stability, and that benzene could be hydrogenated to cyclohexane completely at mild conditions of reaction temperature 120 ℃, hydrogen pressure 0.5 MPa and space velocity 2 h^-1.

摘要： 以20%的拟薄水铝石为黏结剂制备新型固定床Raney镍催化剂，采用苯加氢为模型反应，研究了前驱物成型合金浸取条件对催化剂加氢活性的影响.实验结果表明，对于860℃焙烧2 h后的成型合金，以10%～20%的NaOH溶液在80～90℃浸取3～4 h可得到具有较高加氢活性的固定床Raney镍催化剂.浸取反应可在1～4 h内基本完成，浸取后催化剂表面出现微孔结构，具有较好的苯加氢活性和活性稳定性，可在120℃、0.5 MPa、空速2 h^-1的缓和条件下实现苯的完全转化.
