Zusammenfassung:Process for the preparation of a modified ammonium mordenite, characterized in that it comprises the steps of (1) drying an ammonium mordenite under conditions such that the mordenite is maintained in ammonium form and (2) treating the dried ammonium mordenite thus obtained with tetrachlorosilane in the gas phase at a temperature of between 300 and 600 DEG C. The modified ammonium mordenite obtained by this process is suitable for use as a catalyst in the production of methylamines by reaction of ammonia and methanol, allowing high selectivities in dimethylamine.
