Abstract
A deactivated supported ruthenium catalyst which has been used to continuously hydrogenate an aqueous acetone stream is regenerated by contacting with steam at an elevated temperature. Periodic regeneration in this manner serves to maintain a high rate of reaction in a process which converts acetone to isopropanol.
