A method of treating an untreated catalyst support includes contacting an untreated catalyst support which is partially soluble in an aqueous acid and/or a neutral aqueous solution with a modifying component precursor of the formula Me(OR)x where Me is a modifying component selected from Si, Zr, Ti, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ba, Co, Ni, Na, K, Ca, Sn, Cr, Fe, Li, TI, Mg, Sr, Ga, Sb, V, Hf, Th, Ce, Ge, U, Nb, Ta, and W, R is an alkyl or acyl group, and x is an integer having a value of from 1 to 5. The modifying component is thereby introduced onto and/or into the catalyst support to form a protected modified catalyst support which is less soluble in the aqueous acid and/or the neutral aqueous solution. No calcination of the protected modified catalyst support is effected.
