FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a catalyst element used in hydration processes. The presented catalyst element contains a noble metal, which represents palladium, and an element of lanthanide group. which represents europium coating a carrier containing a substantially nonporous glass-containing substrate. The above glass-containing substrate has a specific surface measured by S.A.N2-BET method based on N2 heat adsorption/desorption or S.A.Kr-BET method based on Kr heat adsorption/desorption, within the range of 0.01 m2/g to 10 m2/g, and a rate of specific surface change by sodium chemical absorption SACRNa≤0.5. Palladium and europium each present in an amount of 10 portions per million by weight to 1 % by weight, on account of the catalyst element weight. The invention also refers to a method for feed stream hydration in the presence of the above catalyst element and to a method for producing the above catalyst.
EFFECT: presented catalyst element possesses selective and stable activity in the hydration processes.
