FORMATION OF AN INTERMETALLIC COMPOUND PD3TE WITH DEACTIVATION OF TE PD/C CATALYSTS FOR SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF SODIUM LACTATE TO PYRUVATE IN AQUEOUS-PHASE/

The addition of a trace amount of Te promoted the activity of Pd/C in
the liquid-phase oxidation of lactic acid, but the Te/Pd/C catalyst, f
or which Pd3Te crystalline phase extended over the bulk at a higher Te
-doping above Te/Pd = 0.3 (atom), was again inactive. A powder XRD evi
dence for Pd3Te is given.
