A series of new crystalline titanates (CT) are shown to have considerable potential as catalyst supports. For Pd supported catalyst, the catalytic activity for pyrene hydrogenation was substantially different depending on the type of CT, and one was substantially more active than Pd on hydrous titanium oxide (HTO). For 1-hexene hydrogenation the activities of the new CTs were approximately the same as for the hydrous metal oxide supports.

Crystalline titanate catalyst supports

Methanol, dimethyl ether or a mixture thereof is converted to a hydrocarbon product rich in iso-C.sub.4 compounds by contact with a catalyst comprised of crystalline silica having molecular sieve properties or a crystalline solid with molecular sieve properties which has been impregnated with thorium oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide or a combination thereof.
