Abstract
A method of making a catalyst comprises: mixing a catalytically active component and a surfactant to form a mixture, wherein the catalytically active component comprises phosphorus; forming a gel; physically shearing the gel to form a physically sheared gel; combining the physically sheared gel with a support; and calcining the support with the physically sheared gel to form the catalyst. Another method of making a catalyst comprises: mixing a catalytically active component and a surfactant to form a mixture, wherein the catalytically active component comprises phosphorus; letting the mixture sit without mixing for greater than 1 hour to form a set mixture; subjecting the set mixture to shear to form a sheared mixture; combining the sheared mixture with a support; and calcining the support with the sheared mixture to form the catalyst.
