CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR VAPOR-PHASE ALDEHYDE HYDROGENATION

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to processes for vapor-phase aldehyde hydrogenation. In some embodiments, a process for vapor-phase heterogeneous hydrogenation of aldehydes to produce alcohols comprises providing a mixture of a vapor stream comprising one or more aldehydes and a gas stream comprising hydrogen, and contacting the mixture with a solid catalyst comprising a copper-silicon alloy.
