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. A conversion of only 97% and a cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol ratio of 4:1 at a selectivity of 99.9% were obtained. The experiment was discontinued after 600 hours.
