The invention discloses an aluminum
oxide loaded PtCu monatomic
alloy catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst takes Al2O3 as a carrier, takes Cu as an auxiliary, and loads a small amount of
active components Pt; the
mass percent of Pt is 0.025%-0.15%, and the
mass percent of Cu is 5%-20%; and during preparation, a co-impregnation method is used, the Al2O3 carrier isimpregnated in an
aqueous solution of
chloroplatinic acid and
copper nitrate, the PtCu / Al2O3 catalyst is obtained after
drying and
roasting and high-temperature reduction, and the catalyst has
high activity and high stability, and is low in price and low in
toxicity. The catalyst is suitable for reaction for producing olefin by
dehydrogenation through low
alkane, and is particularly suitable forreaction for producing propylene by
dehydrogenation through
propane in a hydrogenation
atmosphere, the
dehydrogenation activity is quite high under the condition of high temperature, the selectivity of the propylene can reach 90% or above, the stability is good, the use amount of Pt is small, the
utilization rate is high, and compared with an industrial Pt series catalyst, the aluminum
oxide loaded PtCu monatomic
alloy catalyst is cheaper.
