Samples of nickel on alumina (1.1–10.4 wt.% Ni) were prepared by impregnating alumina in hydrated nickel nitrate. The textural properties of the calcined catalysts have been determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. Calcined catalysts were reduced prior to determination of the chemisorbed benzene at 308 K or chemisorbed hydrogen at 383 K. Hydrogenation of benzene was also determined at 473 K using the flow technique. The surface area of NiO/Al2O3 catalysts decrease and their mean pore radii increase with an increase in NiO content. These changes are more pronounced for catalysts containing more than 5% metal. Chemisorption of benzene proceeds via the formation of π-bonds with nickel. The chemisorption of hydrogen indicated that the percentage dispersion decreases and the crystallite size increases with an increase in metal loading. Dispersion, crystallite size and metal surface are important factors in determining the activity of supported nickel catalysts for benzene hydrogenation.

The reactivity of alumina-supported nickel catalysts can be improved by storing hydrogen in catalysts. This illustrates that a smooth correlation exists between the amount of stored hydrogen in catalysts and the catalytic activity.

The activity of ruthenium, palladium, and nickel catalysts for the hydrogenation of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene in cyclohexane solution was studied at temperatures up to 180 °C and pressures up to 8 MPa. The GC-MS technique was used to identify most of the perhydroacenaphthylene stereoisomers, whose fractions in the product were found dependent on the nature of the active component of the catalyst. The hydrogenation was fastest on the palladium catalyst (3% Pd/C). The nickel catalyst Ni-NiO/Al2O3, which is sufficiently active also after repeated use, can be recommended for practical application. The activation energy of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene hydrogenation using this catalyst is 17 kJ/mol, the reaction order with respect to hydrogen is unity.
