Method for producing alchohol

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing an alcohol including hydrogenating an aldehyde using a hydrogenation catalyst and subjecting the resultant product to distillation/purification, wherein the resultant hydrogenation product is subjected to distillation/purification in the absence of the hydrogenation catalyst or in the presence of the hydrogenation catalyst in such an amount that does not cause a dehydrogenation reaction.
