The present invention discloses a preparation method for a hydrogenation catalyst. According to the method, a
coprecipitation method is adopted to generate a mixture comprising a NixWyOz
composite oxide and a precursor of aluminum
oxide; the mixture and MoO3 are subjected to beating, mixing, filtering, shaping,
drying and baking to obtain the catalyst, wherein the method for generating the NixWyOz
composite oxide and the precursor of the aluminum
oxide by the
coprecipitation method comprises: preparing an acid mixing solution A containing Ni, W, and an aluminum salt; preparing an aluminum-containing alkaline solution B; and carrying out co-current flow of the solution A and the solution B to carry out gelling to obtain the catalyst. According to the method of the present invention, the aluminum source comprises two parts, one is the acid mixing solution A, and the other is the aluminum-containing alkaline solution B, such that the
excessive growth of the grain during the
precipitation forming process can be effectively controlled, the reduction of the specific surface area of the catalyst can be inhibited, and the adhesion deteriorating of the catalyst can be inhibited so as to improve the pore structure and the
mechanical strength of the catalyst. The method of the present invention is mainly applicable for the preparation of the bulk phase catalysts with the high
metal content, wherein the bulk phase catalysts provide high activities for the deep
impurity removal process of the
hydrocarbon, and can be adopted to process the heavy raw materials.
