The application discloses a supported
metal catalyst modified by a hydrophobic surface ligand, a preparation method and application, and the supported
metal catalyst comprises a
metal active component and a carrier, the carrier is a composite carrier in which a
molecular sieve is attached to a columnar
activated carbon pore opening, the
molecular sieve is TS-1, MCM-41 and ZSM-5, the
silicon-aluminum ratio of the
molecular sieve is 20-100, the material of the
activated carbon is coconut shell, walnut shell, apricot shell or wood, the specific surface area of the
activated carbon is 800-2000 m 2 / g; the metal
active component is one of
platinum,
palladium,
ruthenium and
rhodium, and the metal loading is 0.2-5.0 wt%. The application can adjust the adsorption mode of reactants on the catalyst, selectively adsorb nitro by the hydrophobic property of the catalyst, complete the
hydrogenation reaction, and rapidly
discharge the hydrophilic product, so that over-hydrogenation and
halogen removal are avoided, reaction equipment is protected, and the selectivity of the reactant is improved.
