A method for making an inorganic oxide supported catalyst involves impreg nating an inorganic oxide component with a catalytic metal using an aqueous, acid bath. More specifically, the method involves forming and washing an in organic oxide component, such as a silica gel or a silica co-gel, for exampl e a silica-zirconia co-gel. The washed inorganic oxide component is then con tacted with the acidic bath to effect the impregnation with the catalytic me tal, such as cesium, to form an activated inorganic oxide component. Subsequ ently, the activated component is dried to form the catalyst. The resulting catalysts possess increased surface area, which is beneficial with respect t o accessibility and amount of catalytically active sites.
