  Verfahren zur Herstellung von Äthylalkohol. 



     E- ; wurdf gefunden, dass sieh   die Hydrierung von Acetaldehyd zu Äthylalkohol mit vorzüglichem Erfolg ausführen lässt, wenn man als Katalysator Kupfer in fein verteilter Form, wie es durch Reduktion gefällter Kupferverbindungen erhalten wird, verwendet, Die Reduktion des Kupfers wird zweckmässig bei   möglichst   niedriger Temperatur vorgenommen. Das Kupfer hat dabei vor dem teuren Nickel den Vorzug dass die Reduktion seines Oxydes schon bei der im vorliegenden Falle für die Hydrierung des Acetal-   dehyds   verwendeten Reaktionstemperatur von etwa   150-2000 erfolgt,   so dass eine Oxydation des Katalysators während des Arbeitens ausgeschlossen ist. 



   Man benutzt zweckmässig ein durch Fällen von heissen Kupfersalzlösungen mit   Ätzalkalien   und Reduktion des Kupferhydrates mit Wasserstoff bei etwa 200'erhaltenes Kupfer, über welches bei einer Temperatur von etwa 180  Aeetaldehyddampf mit Wasserstoff im   Überschuss geleitet   wird. 



   Das Kupfer kann in geeigneter Weise auf Träger, wie Bimsstein, aufgebracht sein, z. B. indem man   da,     Kupferhydroxyd   vor der Reduktion mit Bimssteinpulver mischt. Der Acetaldehyd kann auch in   polymerer Form,   z. B. als Paraldehyd, verwendet werden.

  Process for the production of ethyl alcohol.



     E-; It was found that the hydrogenation of acetaldehyde to ethyl alcohol can be carried out with excellent success if the catalyst used is copper in finely divided form, as obtained by reducing precipitated copper compounds. The reduction of copper is expediently carried out at the lowest possible temperature. Copper has the advantage over expensive nickel that the reduction of its oxide takes place at the reaction temperature of about 150-2000 used in the present case for the hydrogenation of the acetaldehyde, so that oxidation of the catalyst during operation is excluded.



   It is useful to use a copper obtained by precipitating hot copper salt solutions with caustic alkalis and reducing the copper hydrate with hydrogen at about 200 °, over which at a temperature of about 180 aeetaldehyde vapor is passed with excess hydrogen.



   The copper may suitably be applied to supports such as pumice stone, e.g. B. by mixing copper hydroxide with pumice stone powder prior to reduction. The acetaldehyde can also be in polymeric form, e.g. B. as paraldehyde can be used.
