Abstract
The strong effect of the support on the physical properties and cataly tic activity and selectivity of high-loaded nickel catalysts (about 55 wt.% Ni) used in reductive amination of diethylene glycol (DEG) and d iethylene glycol amine (DEGA) to form morpholine was confirmed. In DEG amination, catalytic activity was proportional to the dispersion of m etallic nickel only, while in DEGA amination catalytic activity depend ed on the acidity of the catalysts.
