Abstract

A process for producing a purified terephthalic acid which comprises reacting in a liquid phase a mixture of hydrogen and crude terephthalic acid, a palladium/rhodium catalyst on a porous carbonaceous support wherein the catalyst compound is prepared by adsorbing palladium on the support from a complex salt formed in the presence of an amine and acetic acid, followed by deposition of rhodium from a solution of sodium hexanitritorhodate.
