The invention relates to a catalyst for preparing
cyclododecanone through cyclododecanol
dehydrogenation and a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst component comprises
copper,
zinc,
zirconium,
sodium,
calcium, aluminum and iron; the catalyst is prepared from the following components in percentage by
mass in an
oxide form: 40 to 65 weight percent of
copper oxide, 10 to 21 weight percent of
zinc oxide, 10 to 30 weight percent of
zirconium oxide, 5 to 20 weight percent of
sodium oxide, 1 to 5 weight percent of
calcium oxide, 0.5 to 1.5 weight percent of aluminum oxide and 0.05 to 0.5 weight percent of
iron oxide. In one embodiment, according to the preparation method of the catalyst provided by the invention,
water vapor is added during
roasting in a
nitrogen environment, so that the release speed of
carbon dioxide is controlled, and formation of
carbon deposition in the
roasting process is reduced. The catalyst can solve the problem of low selectivity caused by low
dehydrogenation reaction conversion rate and many by-product cyclododecene, and has the characteristics of high strength, good hydrothermal resistance, long service life and the like.
