TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The alcohol is heated to 50-80 degrees C. In the dispersion step, 10-30 pts. wt. the aluminum precursor is dispersed in alcohol. The cooling step is performed at 40-60 degrees C. 30-40 pts. wt. Nickel precursor, 1-10 pts. wt. iron precursor and 0.2-1 pts. wt. ruthenium precursor are added to cooled sol. In the sol-hydration and condensation steps, each 100 pts. wt. the alcohol is added with 400-600 pts. wt. water. The aging step is performed at 15-25 degrees C for 7-10 minutes. The gel phase is dried in a container at 50-70 degrees C for 3-5 days so that the pores formed on at least one side of the gel. Preferred Components: The nickel precursor is nickel acetate hydrate, nickel acetylacetonate, nickel chloride hydrate or nickel sulfide. The iron precursor is iron acetate hydrate, iron acetylacetonate, iron chloride hydrate or iron sulfide. The ruthenium precursor is ruthenium acetylacetonate, ruthenium chloride hydrate or ruthenium chloride trihydrate. The pores have total area per unit volume of 1.5-5.7 mm2/ml. The heat treatment is performed at 600-900 degrees C for 5-8 hours.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The alcohol is one of methanol, 1-propanol, isopropyl alcohol, 1-butanol and 2-butanol. The aluminum precursor is aluminum alcoholate or aluminum alkoxide (preferably aluminum ethoxide, aluminum tri-butoxide, aluminum tert-butoxide, aluminum isopropoxide and aluminum tri-sec-butoxide). EXAMPLE - 7 g Aluminum tri-sec-butoxide was dispersed in ethanol and heated at 80 degrees C. Then, a part of the transparent aluminum sol was hydrated, to which 40 ml ethanol, 0.1 ml nitric acid and 0.3 ml water were added. 35 pts. wt. Nickel acetate tetrahydrate dispersed in 10 ml ethanol, 5 pts. wt., iron acetate and 0.2 pts. wt ruthenium acetylacetonate were added to the obtained mixture to obtain nickel-iron-ruthenium-aluminum sol. The obtained sol was cooled to 50 degrees C, then the mixture of 25 ml water and 5 ml ethanol was gradually injected to obtain nickel-iron-ruthenium-aluminum gel and aged for 7 days to obtain the catalyst.
