Abstract:
The present development relates to a process for enrobing active catalytic materials with a protective coating to form pastilles, and to an apparatus for making the pastilles. The process comprises mixing an active catalyst powder with a hydrocarbon material in a low-shear jacketed blender at a temperature slightly above the congealing point of the hydrocarbon, and then making pastilles from the catalyst/hydrocarbon mixture while cooling the mixture to temperature below the congealing point of the hydrocarbon.

Abstract:
Transition metal on an inert stable carrier hydrogenation catalysts are stabilized with a coating of a fatty amine and an alkane wherein the fatty amine-alkane coating has a melting point of about 130.degree. C. to about 180.degree. F.
