The invention relates to a preparation method of
phenylmethylamine. The technical scheme adopted by the invention for mainly solving the problems of high catalyst loss, low production efficiency and high intermittent operation labor intensity is as follows: the preparation method of the
phenylmethylamine comprises the following steps: mixing the
raw material of cyanobenzene with a
solvent material or at least one of one part of product materials in a mixing unit, introducing the mixture into a
fixed bed hydrogenation reactor to be in contact with
hydrogen and a catalyst and carry out multi-phase continuous
hydrogenation reaction to obtain a product material containing
phenylmethylamine, separating the product material to obtain a phenylmethylamine product, wherein the catalyst is a
metal loaded catalyst; and the
metal is selected from at least one of Pd, Pt, Cu, Ni, Mo and Fe. The preparation method can be used for preparing phenylmethylamine.
