    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for preparing 1,4-butanediol by continuous catalytic hydrogenation of 1,4-butinediol in that 1,4-butinediol is reacted with hydrogen in the liquid continuous phase in th e presence of a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst at temperatures of between 20 and 300 .degree.C, a pressure of between 1 and 20 0 bar and values of the liquid-side mass transfer coefficients k L a, relative to the volume, of between 0.1 s-1 and 1s-1, a) with a catalyst suspended in the reaction medium, wherein, when a packed bubble column is used, it is operated in the upwards mode and at a ratio of the amount of gas leaving the reaction vessel to the amount fed thereto of between 0.99:1 and 0.4:1, or b) is guided upwards in parallel flow throug h a fixed bed reactor operated in the circulating gas mode, the ratio between the amount of gas fed to the reaction vessel and the amount of gas leaving the latter being maintained between 0.99:1 and 0.4:1.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the gas-phase hydrogenation of C4-dicarboxylic acids and/or their derivatives over a catalyst based on copper oxide to give substituted or unsubstituted gamma-butyrolactone and/or tetrahydrofuran, which comprises, which a first reaction zone in which the C4-dicarboxylic acid and/or its derivatives is/are reacted to give a mixture comprising a substituted or unsubstituted gamma-butyrolactone as main product and a subsequent second reaction zone in which the substituted or unsubstituted gamma-butyrolactone present in the mixture from the first hydrogenation step is reacted at a temperature lower than the temperature in the first hydrogenation step to give substituted or unsubstituted tetrahydrofuran.
