The invention relates to catalyst carriers for use in conjunction with silver, alkali metal promoters, rhenium promoters and optionally rhenium co-promoters selected from sulfur, molybdenum, tungsten, chromium and mixtures thereof. The carriers consist of at least 85 and preferably 95 percent by weight of alpha alumina, from about 0.01 to about 6 percent by weight of an alkaline earth metal silicate and from about zero to about 10 percent by weight (measured as the dioxide) of added zirconium in the form of an oxide. |
