Hughes, W; Reusser, R

An activated calcined homogenous catalyst composition consists essentially of a support uranium and at least one of tungsten and rhenium, wherein said composition contains about 0.1 to 25 weight percent total uranium, tungsten, and rhenium, each calculated as the metal; and a weight ratio of uranium:at least one of tungsten and rhenium of about 2:1 to 1:1. The activated catalyst composition is prepared by steps which comprise forming a homogenous composite, calcining said homogenous composite in a molecular oxygen-containing atmosphere at elevated temperatures, and subsequently activating said calcined homogenous composite under reducing conditions at elevated temperatures. The catalyst composition according to claim 1 is one in which the total of uranium, tungsten, and rhenium is about 1 to 15 weight percent. The catalyst composition according to claim 2 is one in which the ratio of uranium to at least one of tungsten and rhenium is about 2:1 to 0.5:1. The catalyst composition according to claim 3 is one in which the support is alumina, silica, silica-alumina, zirconia, titania, thoria, aluminum phosphate, magnisium silicate, zinc aluminate, or mixture. The catalyst composition according to claim 4is one in which support is silica.
