The present invention relates to a process for improving the catalytic properties of a catalyst comprising one or more elements selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel and copper, said catalyst being present in the form of a structured monolith, by contacting the catalyst with one or more basic compounds selected from the group of the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and rare earth metals. The invention further relates to a process for hydrogenating compounds which comprise at least one unsaturated carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen or carbon-oxygen bond in the presence of a catalyst comprising one or more elements selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel and copper, said catalyst being present in the form of a structured monolith, by contacting the catalyst with one or more basic compounds selected from the group of the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and rare earth metals. The present invention also relates to the use of a basic compound selected from the group of the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and rare earth metals for improving the catalytic properties of a catalyst comprising cobalt and/or copper and/or nickel, said catalyst being present in the form of a structured monolith.
