Claim Text:
1. A method of preparing a modified catalyst support, the method comprising: contacting a catalyst support material with a modifying component precursor in an impregnating liquid medium wherein the impregnating liquid medium comprises a mixture of water and an organic liquid solvent for the modifying component precursor, which mixture contains at least 2.5% by volume water, but less than 12% by volume water based on the total volume of the impregnating liquid medium, the catalyst support material is selected from the group consisting of a catalyst support precursor which is convertible to a catalyst support upon calcination thereof, the catalyst support being in the form of a metal oxide which is an oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Al, Si, Ti, Mg, Zr and Zn; and a catalyst support selected from the group consisting of alumina in the form of one or more aluminium oxides, silica (SiO optionally, calcining the modifying component containing catalyst support material at a temperature above 100° C. to obtain a modified catalyst support.
