The invention discloses a method for recycling hydrogenation catalyst waste. The method comprises the following steps: (1)
alumina support waste and / or the hydrogenation catalyst waste are / is smashedand sieved,
powder obtained after sieving is pulped,
slurry with
solid content being 15wt%-55wt% is obtained, a
nitric acid-
phosphoric acid-
organic acid mixed solution is added with stirring, the obtained solution is heated to 65-100 DEG C, kept at the temperature for 30-90 min and cooled to
room temperature, then organic amine is added, the solution is mixed uniformly, and
sol slurry of the wasteis obtained; (2) the
sol slurry of the waste in step (1),
alumina powder and an
extrusion aid are mixed uniformly, then mixed kneading, forming,
drying and
roasting are performed, and an
alumina support is obtained; (3) an
active component is supported on the alumina support, and a hydrogenation catalyst is obtained. With adoption of the method, the hydrogenation catalyst waste can be recycled effectively,
wastewater and waste residues are not produced,
pollution to the environment is avoided, and the catalyst prepared with the method has higher catalytic activity.
