Alumina, silica or silica-alumina containing catalysts are manufactured by incorporating at least one active element selected from the metals of the groups V, VI and VIII or their compounds to a carrier, and then drying and activating. The carrier or the catalyst is shaped into extrudates and the latter are crushed to coarse particles.

1. A process for manufacturing a catalyst consisting essentially of at least one alumina, silica or silica-alumina carrier and at least one active element selected from vanadium and the metals of groups VI and VIII and compounds of said metals, said process comprising the steps of shaping said carrier as extrudates, calcining said extrudates at about 300°-1000° C., coarsely crushing said calcined extrudates and recovering resultant crushed particles of average size from 0.05 to 0.5 times the diameter of said calcined extrudates, introducing said at least one active element into said recovered crushed particles, and calcining resultant catalyst particles at about 300°-1000° C. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the crushing is performed on carrier extrudates, before incorporation of all of the active elements. 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein said catalyst carrier is alumina and said at least one metal or compound of a metal is molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, nickel, cobalt, iron or a compound thereof. 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein the extrudates subjected to crushing have a diameter of from 4 to 10 mm and the recovered particles have an average size of from 0.5 to 4 mm. 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein the crushing is performed in two successive steps, the spacing between the crushing surfaces being, in the first step, substantially equal to the diameter of the initial extrudates and, in the second step, substantially equal to the maximum size of the desired particles. 6. A process according to claim 1, wherein said carrier is alumina in the form of conglomerates of acicular plates, the plates of each conglomerate being generally radially oriented with respect to one another and with respect to the center of the conglomerate, and forming a major proportion of wedge-shaped mesopores. 7. A process according to claim 4, wherein said recovered particles have an average size of from 0.8 to 2 mm. 8. A process according to claim 1, wherein after the first calcining step and before the crushing step, the extrudates are autoclaved. 9. A catalyst produced by the process of any of claims 3-7 or 1 and 8.
