Procedure

Hydrogen and phenol were then passed over the catalyst in a molar ratio of 4:1 at 150° C. and under a loading of 1.0 g of phenol/ml of catalyst×hour: After a run-in time of 150 hours, a cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol ratio of 4:1 was obtained at a conversion of 99.9% and a selectivity of 99.9%. After 600 hours, the experiment was discontinued (compare comment on Example 6).
