A method for increasing the crush strength of a support by incorporating a strength increasing additive in the support and a catalyst including the support. A fluoride mineralized carrier incorporating a strength enhancing additive selected from the group consisting of zirconium species, lanthanide group species, inorganic glasses, and mixtures thereof in a fluoride mineralized carrier. And a catalyst is prepared. Further, olefin epoxidation is carried out using the catalyst to produce olefin oxide and 1,2-diol, 1,2-diol ether or alkanolamine. [Selection figure] None |
