The invention discloses a preparing method of a modified aluminum oxide dehydrant. The preparing method comprises the following steps: uniformly blending alumina gel, silica gel, calcium oxide, zinc oxide and sesbania and carrying out kneading, molding, granulating, primary drying, primary roasting, impregnating, secondary drying and secondary roasting in sequence to prepare finished products, carrying out dehydration process before chlorine and oxygen are separated from the mixed gas generated by catalytic oxidation reaction of hydrogen chloride by using adsorption separation method, the mass ratios of alumina gel to silica gel to calcium oxide to zinc oxide to sesbania are (70-82):(7-14):(0.5-2.0):(5-10):(5-10). In the preparing method, water absorption drying agent which is allowed to be used in chlorine-containing gas with small amount of water, and can form the compound absorption bed layer together with the silica gel, the compound bed absorption agent is arranged at the gas outlet end of the compound absorption bed layer to deeply dry and dehydrate gas.
