It is shown here that the mechanism and kinetics of the vapor-phase hydrogenation of acetone in isopropanol on cobalt and nickel, without support and on deposited catalysts studied previously (Co/A1/sub 2/O/sub 3/, Ni/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/), are identical. The catalytic activity of the transition metals increases with a decrease in the adsorption coefficients of the initial reagents and an increase in the average size of the crystals of the metallic phase.
