The invention discloses a preparation method of a vulcanized hydrogenation catalyst. The method comprises the steps as follows: (1) a vulcanizing agent, a vulcanizing aid, an emulsifier and additive particles are uniformly mixed, the mixture is subjected to a constant-temperature reaction, then, an aqueous solution containing hydrogenation active metal is added, the mixture reacts for 5-60 min, the additive particles are removed by separation, and a liquid mixture I is obtained; (2) a peptizing agent, water and urea are uniformly mixed and a liquid mixture II is obtained; (3) an aluminum source is added to an acidic aqueous solution for slurry making, the liquid mixtures I and II are added, and the slurry is mixed uniformly; (4) the slurry in the step (3) is subjected to quick evaporativeconcentration to form concentrated slurry, slow drying treatment is performed, and a semi-dried material is obtained; (5) the semi-dried material obtained in the step (3) is ground, subjected to extrusion molding and roasting, and the vulcanized hydrogenation catalyst is obtained. The catalyst preparation and vulcanizing processes are completed simultaneously, and the catalyst has uniform pore diameter distribution, is simple to prepare and has wider market application prospects.
