Abstract

Raney type catalysts were prepared by means of a two step procedure: (1) Mechanical alloying of the metals and, (2) alkaline aluminum leaching. Mechanical alloying is a novel alternative related to the synthesis of skeletal Ni catalysts. X-ray diffraction, and Mossbauer spectroscopies were performed for catalysts characterization. Binary Al-Ni and ternary Al-Ni-Fe alloys were produced by mechanical alloying from pure metallic powders; in particular, the intermetallic β-(AlNi) phase was formed with a fine microstructure as a non-equilibrium phase; then, aluminum was selectively removed. After aluminum leaching the β-(AlNi) phase was transformed into the more stable nickel fcc structure.
