Studies of the chemical preparation, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), activation energies of reduction, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and catalytic activities of several nickel/α-alumina catalysts have been carried out for the catalytic hydrogenation of hexanedinitrile, in a continuous process at 1 atm pressure, 443 K, and in the absence of ammonia. XPS results show complete reduction of non-stoichiometric NiO ...
