一种用于生产从粘土矿物的催化剂用于烯烃与2-3个碳原子到相应的醇的水合，从磷酸和载体材料，方法，其中基本上的蒙脱石粘土不超过3％所附矿物如夸脱的， ，长石和云母，被污染并且可以含有最多0.5％的K 2 O，首先在与酸的第一步骤处理，直至它的重量和的13-18一Al2O3含量。具有％和任选地通过添加沉淀粘土Al2O3的 含量至16-18％（重量）调整为200-400米2 /克的表面积，优选240-300米2 /克，结果，则在通过压制形成的20-35％的总的水含量，在500-800° C，然后通过煅烧重量，在用酸的第二阶段成型载体材料直到1-5氧化铝含量。％，优选1-3％（重量），分别处理，得到150-250米2 /克的表面积，优选 180-220米2 /克，并给出ð 由此获得的运营商在浸渍与磷酸以已知的方式。 在催化剂载体的制备也可以是含有少于0.1％的K 2 O的已经过酸处理的片材的土壤和从粘土具有高蒙脱石含量获得，可以假设。 相反蒙脱石，蒙脱石组的一个不同的矿物，可以使用不含有钾，但Montmorillonitgitter。 最终成形接触体应具有2至5毫米之间的直径。

A method for producing a catalyst from clay minerals for the hydration of olefins with 2-3 carbon atoms to the corresponding alcohols, from phosphoric acid and carrier material, in which an essentially montmorillonite-containing clay, which, with not more than 3% accompanying minerals such as quartz , feldspar and mica, is contaminated and to 0.5% K ₂ 0 may contain first treated in a first step with acid until it it contains an Al ₂ O ₃ -content of 13-18.%, and optionally by addition of precipitated alumina Al ₂ O ₃ content of 16-18% is adjusted, with a surface area of 200-400 m ² / g, preferably 240-300 m ² / g wt., gives, then at a total water content of 20-35 % formed by pressing, calcination at 500-800 ° C and then by weight, the shaped support material in a second stage with acid until an Al ₂ O ₃ content of 1-5.%, preferably 1-3 wt.%, treated wherein a surface area of 150-250 m ² / g, preferably 180-220 m ² / g obtained, and the thus obtained carrier impregnated in a known manner with phosphoric acid. In the preparation of the catalyst carrier may also be of an already have been acid-treated bleaching earth containing less than 0,1% K ₂ 0 and was made ​​from clay with a high montmorillonite content, can be assumed. Instead of montmorillonite may also be a different mineral of the montmorillonite group are used which does not contain potassium, but the Montmorillonitgitter. The final shaped contact body should have a diameter between 2 and 5 mm.
