The present invention relates to the technical field of
alcohol dehydration, and specifically to a catalyst for producing alpha-olefins by dehydrating
alcohol, a preparation method thereof, and a method for producing alpha-olefins by dehydrating
alcohol. The catalyst comprises: 84-99.88 wt% of a main component, 0.04-6 wt% of a Group IIA
oxide, 0.05-8 wt% of a Group IIIB
oxide, and 0.03-10 wt% of a
transition metal oxide; wherein the main component is selected from at least one of Group IVB oxides; and the
transition metal oxide is selected from at least one of Group VIB oxides, Group VIII oxides, Group IB oxides, and Group IIB oxides. The present invention rationally modifies the catalyst by introducing Group IIA
metal elements, Group IIIB
metal elements, and Group VIB, VIII, IB, and IIB
metal elements into the main component, thereby suppressing
carbon deposition of the catalyst in the alcohol
dehydration reaction, improving the catalytic performance of the catalyst, and promoting the efficient conduct of the alcohol
dehydration reaction to produce alpha-olefins.
