A process for producing glucaric acid from glucose, the process comprising: contacting glucose with oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst comprising a porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product and a noble metal deposited thereon to form glucaric acid, wherein the tungsten of the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product is present at a metal loading of from 0.1 wt% to 70 wt%, and wherein the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product is prepared by a process comprising: mixing a carbonaceous material with water, a water-soluble organic binder, and a tungsten precursor to form a tungsten-carbon mixture, wherein the tungsten precursor is a compound selected from the group consisting of a tungsten carbonate, a tungsten oxide, a tungsten hydroxide, a salt of a tungsten acid, a tungsten heteropoly acid, a tungsten carboxylate, a tungsten carbide, a tungsten chloride, a tungsten amine complex-containing compound, a hydrate thereof, and a mixture of any two or more thereof; shaping the tungsten-carbon mixture to form a green shaped tungsten-carbon product; and heating the green shaped tungsten-carbon product to a carbonization temperature to produce the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product, wherein the water-soluble organic binder exhibits a solubility of at least 1 wt% in water at a temperature of 50°C. contacting glucose with oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst comprising a porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product and a noble metal deposited thereon to form glucaric acid, wherein the tungsten of the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product is present at a metal loading of from 0.1 wt% to 70 wt%, and wherein the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product is prepared by a process comprising: mixing a carbonaceous material with water, a water-soluble organic binder, and a tungsten precursor to form a tungsten-carbon mixture, wherein the tungsten precursor is a compound selected from the group consisting of a tungsten carbonate, a tungsten oxide, a tungsten hydroxide, a salt of a tungsten acid, a tungsten heteropoly acid, a tungsten carboxylate, a tungsten carbide, a tungsten chloride, a tungsten amine complex-containing compound, a hydrate thereof, and a mixture of any two or more thereof; shaping the tungsten-carbon mixture to form a green shaped tungsten-carbon product; and heating the green shaped tungsten-carbon product to a carbonization temperature to produce the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product, wherein the water-soluble organic binder exhibits a solubility of at least 1 wt% in water at a temperature of 50°C. mixing a carbonaceous material with water, a water-soluble organic binder, and a tungsten precursor to form a tungsten-carbon mixture, wherein the tungsten precursor is a compound selected from the group consisting of a tungsten carbonate, a tungsten oxide, a tungsten hydroxide, a salt of a tungsten acid, a tungsten heteropoly acid, a tungsten carboxylate, a tungsten carbide, a tungsten chloride, a tungsten amine complex-containing compound, a hydrate thereof, and a mixture of any two or more thereof; shaping the tungsten-carbon mixture to form a green shaped tungsten-carbon product; and heating the green shaped tungsten-carbon product to a carbonization temperature to produce the porous, shaped tungsten-carbon product, wherein the water-soluble organic binder exhibits a solubility of at least 1 wt% in water at a temperature of 50°C.
