The present invention relates to reactively stable catalysts, to thenpreparation thereof, and to reaction processes using these catalysts.nThese stable catalysts are useful in hydrogenation reactions, innparticular, hydrogenation of phenols to yield the correspondingncyclohexanone. A process for forming a supported palladium catalystnwherein said support material is metal-doped by impregnating the supportnmaterial with a group IA or IIA metal bicarbonate solution; drying thenbicarbonate impregnated support material and calcining thenbicarbonate-treated support material to form a group IA or IIAnmetal-doped support material. |
