摘要 |
Processes of the invention provide alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol with high purity and little by-product impurities by reacting a ketone such as acetone and hydrogen. The process for producing alcohols includes catalytically hydrogenating a ketone in the presence of a catalyst into an alcohol, and the catalyst is an acid-treated Raney catalyst obtained by contact-treating a Raney catalyst with an acid.
