    Abstract: A porous shaped catalyst support body comprising at least 85% by weight of alpha-alumina, wherein the support has a total pore volume in the range from 0.5 to 2.0 mL/g as determined by mercury porosimetry, and a pore structure characterized by a geometric tortuosity τ in the range from 1.0 to 2.0; and an effective diffusion parameter η in the range from 0.060 to 1.0; wherein geometric tortuosity τ and effective diffusion parameter η are determined by image analysis algorithms from computer-assisted 3D reconstructions of focused ion beam scanning electron microscope analyses. The structure of the support has a high total pore volume, such that impregnation with a large amount of silver is possible, while the surface area is kept sufficiently high in order to assure optimal dispersion of the catalytically active species, especially metal species. The support has a pore structure that leads to a maximum rate of mass transfer within the support. The invention also relates to a shaped catalyst body for preparation of ethylene oxide by gas phase oxidation of ethylene, comprising at least 15% by weight of silver, based on the total weight of the catalyst, deposited on a porous shaped catalyst support body as described above. The invention further relates to a process for producing the shaped catalyst body, in which a) a porous shaped catalyst support body as described above is impregnated with a silver impregnation solution, preferably under reduced pressure; and the impregnated porous shaped catalyst support body is optionally subjected to drying; and b) the impregnated porous shaped catalyst support body is subjected to a heat treatment; wherein steps a) and b) are optionally repeated. The invention also relates to a process for preparing ethylene oxide by gas phase oxidation of ethylene, comprising the reaction of ethylene and oxygen in the presence of a shaped catalyst body according to claim 11.
