Abstract
An alcohol production method in which an alcohol is produced from a carbonyl compound, the method including producing an alcohol by using a catalyst, the catalyst including a metal component including rhenium having an average valence of 4 or less and a carrier supporting the metal component, the carrier including zirconium oxide. A catalyst for producing an alcohol by hydrogenation of a carbonyl compound, the catalyst including a carrier including zirconium oxide and a metal component supported on the carrier, the metal component including rhenium having an average valence of 4 or less.
Claims18
An alcohol production method in which an alcohol is produced from a carbonyl compound, the method comprising producing an alcohol by using a catalyst, the catalyst including a metal component including rhenium having an average valence of 4 or less, wherein a content of a metal of groups 8 to 10 of the periodic table except iron and nickel included in the catalyst is less than 0.2 in terms of atomic mass ratio to the rhenium atoms, and a carrier supporting the metal component, the carrier including zirconium oxide.
