The invention discloses a
sulfur-tolerant
methanation catalyst which comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: a carrier modifier, an
active component, an auxiliary agent and a carrier, the invention also discloses a preparation method of the
sulfur-tolerant
methanation catalyst, which comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out
nitrogen doping treatment on the carbon nanotubes CNTs; secondly, mixing
nitrate with Al2O3 and the
nitrogen-
doped carbon nanotube powder, carrying out
precipitation reaction and
roasting, dipping the obtained composite modified carrier in an
ammonium thiomolybdate solution, and
roasting to obtain a catalyst precursor; and finally, dipping in a
mixed solution,
roasting and passivating to obtain the
sulfur-tolerant
methanation catalyst. According to the invention, the composite carrier is adopted, so that the composite carrier has better dispersing performance and can promote the dispersion of the
active components, and the adopted active auxiliary agent is also beneficial to dispersing and stabilizing the
active components. The activity of the catalyst can be improved in sulfur-tolerant methanation reaction, the catalyst also has the characteristics of excellent heat-conducting property,
electron transfer property and the like, and meanwhile, the low-temperature activity and high-
temperature resistance of the catalyst are improved.
