Abstract
Vapor-phase air oxidation of lactic acid has been carried out using an iron phosphate catalyst with a P/Fe atomic ratio of 1.2. It was found that lactic acid is selectively converted to form pyruvic acid by oxi dative dehydrogenation. The one-pass yield reached 50 mol-%. The effec ts of the reaction variables on the formation of pyruvic acid were stu died.
