AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR HYDROGENATING ALKYL ESTER(S) IN THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE
摘要
<p>A process for the preparation of alcohol(s) from alkyl ester(s) wherein hydrogen, carbon monoxide and at least one alkyl ester are brought into contact with a hydrogenation catalyst comprising copper and manganese in a reaction zone to produce at least one alcohol, wherein the molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide in the reaction zone is in the range of from 100: 1 to 1 : 10.</p>
