Abstract
Disclosed herein are catalyst compositions comprised of: PA0 (a) from about 15 to about 85 wt. % of crystallites selected from the group consisting of (i) crystallites of one or more transition metals and (ii) crystallites of reducible transition metal carbides and nitrides, and mixtures thereof, said transition metal being selected from those reducible metals from Groups IB, IIB, VIB, VIIB, and VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements, wherein at least 80% of the crystallities have a diameter, d, between about 25 .ANG. and 500 .ANG. with the proviso that the crystallite size distribution of at least about 80% of these be expressed by the relationship 0.5D<d<2D where D is the median of the diameters of this 80%. PA0 (b) from about 15 to about 85 wt. % of a nonreducible promoter phase interdispersed with the metal crystallites and containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of Cr, Al, Si, Th, U and lanthanides, and Group IA, IIA, IIIB, IVB, and VB of the Periodic Table of the Elements, wherein the promoter phase is comprised of particles of which at least about 80% have a diameter between about 15 .ANG. and 1500 .ANG. wherein the median diameter (D) of the m…
