Abstract: In a reactor I a catalyst support impregnated with a solution of cobalt nitrate is oxidized at a calcining temperature comprised between 400° C. and 450° C. in order to produce a catalyst precursor comprising cobalt oxides. This catalyst precursor is contacted in reduction reactor A with reducing gas rich in hydrogen and with a low water content, by circulating the flow of reducing gas, so as to reduce the cobalt oxides to Co and to produce water. Water content is reduced to 200 ppmvol of the flow of reducing gas laden with water recovered at the outlet of the reactor A, and at least a part of the flow of reducing gas is recycled to the reactor A. In the process, the reducing gas is maintained at a water content less than 10,000 ppmvol in reactor A.
