Procedure

An aqueous solution in which 4.86 kg of aluminum nitrate nonahydrate and 1.53 kg of rubidium nitrate were dissolved in 5.0 L of pure water was gradually dropped into 20.0 kg of a stirred silica sol solution having a colloidal particle diameter of from 10 to 20 nm held at 15° C. (TX11561 manufactured by Nalco Co., Ltd. (SiO2 content: 30 wt %)) to obtain a mixed slurry of silica sol, aluminum nitrate and rubidium nitrate. Then, the mixed slurry was aged by holding at room temperature for 24 hours. Subsequently, the mixed slurry was spray-dried with a spray dryer set to an outlet temperature of 130° C. to obtain a solid. Next, the resulting solid was filled to a thickness of about 1 cm into a stainless steel container with the top being open followed by heating in an electric oven from room temperature to 400° C. over the course of 2 hours and then holding at that temperature for 3 hours. After further heating to 580° C. over the course of 2 hours followed by holding at that temperature for 3 hours, the solid was cooled gradually to obtain a silica-alumna-rubidium support. The amount of aluminum was 11.5 mol % based on the total molar amount of silicon and aluminum, and the atomic ratio of (alkaline metal+½×alkaline earth metal+⅓×rare earth metal)/Al was 0.80. Specific surface area as determined according to the nitrogen adsorption method was 127 m2/g. The average particle diameter of the support based on the results of measuring with a laser diffraction particle size analyzer was 64 μm. In addition, the shape of the support was found to be nearly spherical based on observations with a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
