1. A catalyst for the production of ethylene oxide, comprising:
- a carrier containing α
-alumina as the main component which has at least two log differential pore volume distribution peaks in a pore diameter range of 0.01-100 μ
m and at least one peak of the above peaks is present in a pore diameter range of 0.01-1.0 μ
m in the pore distribution measured by mercury porosimetry, wherein each peak is a maximum value of the log differential pore volume distribution of 0.2 cm3/g or larger, and a catalyst component comprising silver is supported on the carrier.

Abstract
A catalyst that enables to produce ethylene oxide in a high selectivity and a method for the production of ethylene oxide using the catalyst are provided. In the catalyst for the production of ethylene oxide, wherein the catalyst component is supported by a carrier, a carrier containing α-alumina as the main component which has at least two peaks in the range of pore diameter of 0.01-100 μm and at least one peak of the above peaks is present in the range of pore diameter of 0.01-1.0 μm in the pore distribution measured by mercury porosimetry is adopted as said carrier.
