Zusammenfassung:A process for selective and direct formation of ethanol from a carbon source comprising converting the carbon source into acetic acid and contacting a feed stream containing the acetic acid and hydrogen in vapor form at an elevated temperature with a suitable hydrogenating catalyst containing about 0.1 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of cobalt on a suitable catalyst support and optionally a second or a third metal supported on said support and wherein said second or third metal is selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, rhenium, iridium, chromium, copper, tin, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium and zinc.
