The invention discloses a preparation method and an application of a multi-walled
carbon nanotube supported La and Al co-modified
platinum-based catalyst. A multi-walled
carbon nanotube is subjected to acid modification, a certain amount of
chloroplatinic acid water solution is added, a
nitrate precursor is added according to a certain proportion, and
drying, calcining and reducing are performed after reaction to obtain the catalyst, namely, La-Al-Pt / MWCNT. The preparation method is simple, the needed catalyst can be obtained by a primary impregnation method, a carrier is low in price and easyto obtain, the cost is greatly reduced, recycling effects are good, the obtained catalyst is used for
glycerol hydrogenation reaction, short in reaction time, economical, effective,
environmentally friendly and low in
hydrogen consumption, products are easily separated, high
glycerol transformation rate and 1, 3-
propylene glycol selectivity can be achieved under mild
reaction conditions, processproduction conditions are improved, and the quality of corresponding products is improved.
