Abstract: A porous alpha-alumina catalyst support is prepared by (i) preparing a precursor material comprising a boehmitic-derived alumina having a pore volume of at least 0.6 mL/g, wherein the boehmitic-derived alumina is obtained by thermal decomposition of a boehmitic starting material and the boehmitic starting material consists predominantly of block-shaped crystals, and optionally an inorganic bond material; (ii) forming the precursor material into shaped bodies; (iii) calcining the shaped bodies to obtain the porous alpha-alumina catalyst support. The support structure has a high overall pore volume, while keeping its surface area sufficiently large so as to provide optimal dispersion of catalytically active species, in particular metal species. The support is useful for a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide by gas-phase oxidation of ethylene.
