ABSTRACT:
A direct hydration process for the production of isopropyl alcohol by reacting a propene-containing hydrocarbon stream with an aqueous stream in an interconnected series of reactors in the presence of an acidic cation exchange resin catalyst wherein the improvement comprises charging a propene-containing hydrocarbon stream to one end of a series of interconnected reactors and charging an aqueous stream to the opposite end of a series of interconnected reactors and directing the streams through the series of reactors so that the hydrocarbon stream and the aqueous stream flow in opposite directions with respect to the series of interconnected reactors and flow in parallel streams through each individual reactor is provided.
