Abstract

A process for hydrogenolysis of C--O and C.dbd.O bonds in organic substances by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst system which contains at least one metal from Groups VIII and/or IB of the Periodic System of Elements on a support consisting of at least one solid acid with an acid activity index of at least 90%.
