PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration in activity and changes with time of the titled catalyst by allowing aromatic hydroperoxide and/or aromatic peroxide to react catalytically with hydrogen under the presence of a catalyst or a catalytic carrier having water repellency. CONSTITUTION:The dispersed soln. of substances having water repellency such as polytetrafluoroethylene is impregnated into a carrier such as alumina, activated carbon, carborundum and zeolite and the carrier is calcined at 200-400 deg.C to deposit 0.01-40% water repellent components thereon. The catalyst for producing aromatic alcohol is obtained by depositing the catalytic active components such as Pd, Pt, Fe, Ni, Rh, Cu and nickel boride on the carrier given with the water repellency. The aromatic alcohol is produced by allowing aromatic hydroperoxide and/or aromatic peroxide to react catalytically with hydrogen under the presence of this catalyst. |
