A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ISOPROPANOL BY THE HYDROGENATION OF ACETONE

摘要

This invention relates to a process for producing isopropanol by the hydrogenation of acetone in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst by contacting I acetone with hydrogen under continuous liquid phase conditions, which comprises employing a hydrogenation catalyst comprising a sponge metal catalyst promoted with a chromium promoter in an amount of from 0.1 to 10% by weight of the sponge metal catalyst.
