A catalyst composition comprising at least an heteropolyacid deposited on a porous titania carrier. A catalyst composition comprising at least an heteropolyacid in which protons in the heteropolyacid may be partially exchanged by at least one cation selected from elements belonging to Group 1 to Group 16 of the Periodic Table of Elements that have been deposited on a porous titania carrier. A method for preparing the catalyst composition comprising impregnating a titania carrier with a solution of at least one metal selected from elements belonging to the Group1 to Group 16 of the Periodic Table of Elements or onium, drying and firing the resulting solid mixture, secondly impregnating the resulting solid mixture with a solution of heteropolyacid, drying, and firing the resulting solid mixture. A process for preparing acrolein and acrylic acid by dehydration of glycerin, carried out in the presence of the catalyst.
