Abstract

In a process for preparing a supported hydrogenation catalyst with increased hydrogenation activity, which comprises a hydrogenating metal and/or an oxide of a hydrogenating metal on an Al2O3-containing support material, said calcined supported hydrogenation catalyst is treated before or after the final shaping thereof and before use thereof in the hydrogenation with a base solution having a pH of >10 at a temperature in the range from 20 to 120° C. for 1 to 300 hours.
