The invention discloses a hydro-
denitrification catalyst for 
coal tar and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst is composed of an 
active component, an additive and a carrier, wherein the 
active component is composed of 
tungsten trioxide and 
nickel oxide, and through taking the total 
mass of the catalyst as a benchmark, the content of the 
tungsten trioxide accounts for 16-24 wt % of the catalyst, and the content of the 
nickel oxide accounts for 3-6 wt % of the catalyst; the additive is 
phosphorus, through taking the total 
mass of the catalyst as a benchmark, and in terms of an elementary substance, the 
phosphorus accounts for 1-2 wt % of the catalyst; through taking the total 
mass of the catalyst as a benchmark, and in terms of a carrier 
dry basis, the carrier accounts for 68-80 wt % of the catalyst; and the carrier is composed of 
activated carbon, 
alumina and a H beta 
molecular sieve, wherein the 
activated carbon accounts for 10-31 wt % of the carrier, the 
alumina accounts for 53-82 wt % of the carrier, and the H beta 
molecular sieve accounts for 8-16 wt % of the carrier. The catalyst disclosed by the invention is easy to vulcanize and relatively high in activity; and a pore structure of the 
activated carbon is adjustable, so that the conversion of 
colloid components and the removal of 
nitrogen impurities in 
coal tar are facilitated, thereby slowing the 
carbon deposition of the catalyst. Compared with conventional catalysts, the prepared catalyst has more excellent hydro-
denitrification performance.
