The invention belongs to the technical field of
petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a
nickel base selective hydrogenation catalyst for
gasoline cracking, a preparation method and an application thereof, wherein the
nickel base selective hydrogenation catalyst adopts
nickel as an
active component, adopts Al2O3 as a carrier, and contains (calculated as the weight of the
oxide) 8-20 wt.% of Nio and the balance of Al2O3, the carrier is a theta-Al2O3 and
delta-Al2O3
mixed phase carrier, the specific surface area of the catalyst is 110-130 m<2> / g, the pore volume is 0.40-0.45 mL / g, pore size distribution of the catalyst is centralized, the
radius of more than 70% of the pores is 5-10 nm, and the average pore
radius is 6-8 nm. According to the present invention, the catalyst adopts the
metal Ni as the
active component, adopts the theta and
delta mixed phase alumina as the carrier, has characteristics of a certain gum resistance, a certain
arsenic resistance, high hydrogenation
load bearing, stable selectivity and stable activity, and is suitable for the first section selective hydrogenation in
gasoline cracking; and the preparation method has characteristics of simpleness, easy performing and easy operation.
