  • Process for producing 2-propanol
    Patent number: 8283504
    Abstract: The invention provides processes for producing 2-propanol with higher purity than heretofore possible while suppressing the by-production of impurities. A process of the invention produces 2-propanol by reacting acetone with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the process includes reacting a raw material mixture containing water and acetone, with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, and the raw material mixture contains water at 1.2 to 4.0 wt % based on 100 wt % of the total of the water and the acetone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 17, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 9, 2012
    Assignee: Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.

  • ALCOHOL PRODUCTION PROCESS AND ACID-TREATED RANEY CATALYST
    Publication number: 20110015450
    Abstract: Processes of the invention provide alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol with high purity and little by-product impurities by reacting a ketone such as acetone and hydrogen. The process for producing alcohols includes catalytically hydrogenating a ketone in the presence of a catalyst into an alcohol, and the catalyst is an acid-treated Raney catalyst obtained by contact-treating a Raney catalyst with an acid.
