Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a catalyst, wherein copper is applied on a prefabricated SiO.sub.2 -containing carrier in the presence or absence of one or more of the elements magnesium, barium, zinc or chromium, wherein the catalyst contains from 5 to 50% by weight copper, calculated as CuO, and from 50 to 95% by weight silicone, calculated as SiO.sub.2, based in each case on the total weight of the calcined catalyst, by impregnation of a porous silica carrier with a supernatant aqueous solution of a thermally readily decomposable copper compound and by subsequent drying and calcination, the calcination being carried out at from 200 to 400.degree.
