Method for preparing copper-containing hydrogenation reaction catalyst and method for producing alcohol

摘要

A copper-containing hydrogenation reaction catalyst is prepared by reducing a precursor of a copper-containing catalyst usable in hydrogenation reaction with hydrogen gas or a mixture of hydrogen and an inert gas by liquid phase reduction in a stream of a solvent in the temperature range of from 50 DEG to 140 DEG C. An alcohol is produced using the catalyst thus obtained in a fixed bed continuous reaction system.
