METHOD OF PREPARING CATALYST AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL USING THIS CATALYST Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B01J23/755 B01J37/02 B01J37/08 

FIELD: organic chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: following has been proposed: a method of preparing a catalyst for the production of isopropyl alcohol in the process of liquid-phase hydrogenation of acetone containing nickel in an amount of 13–30 wt.%, applying the active component to gamma-aluminum oxide with a pore volume of 0.4–0.9 cm³/g, followed by heat treatment being drying and calcination, and reductive activation, characterized by the active component being applied from a melt of Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, calcination is carried out in air at a temperature of 200–500°C.

EFFECT: reduction in the stages of catalyst preparation and the production of a catalyst with a high nickel content in one impregnation while maintaining high activity in the process of producing isopropyl alcohol.
