This application belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a highly efficient hydrophobic
methanol catalyst and its preparation method. The method includes: preparing raw materials such as
copper salt,
zinc salt, and aluminum salt, setting a preset total
molar ratio of
copper,
zinc, and aluminum, and separating the
zinc salt and aluminum salt according to a deviation of ≤10% from the total
molar ratio; preparing first and second salt solutions, an auxiliary agent solution, and an alkaline solution; first establishing a first liquid level in the reactor, and then adding the first
salt solution and alkaline solution in parallel at a preset temperature and pH to construct the core phase, followed by the addition of the second
salt solution, the auxiliary agent solution, and the alkaline solution to form a
coating layer, and aging at a higher temperature; washing,
drying, and calcining to prepare a catalyst precursor; preparing a hydrophobic component solution and an
oxide precursor solution, mixing and hydrolyzing them to obtain a composite hydrophobic solution; and impregnating and
drying the precursor with the solution to obtain the product. This application solves the problem of water-induced deactivation of traditional catalysts and improves CO2 efficiency. 2 Conversion rate and
methanol selectivity, reduced deactivation rate, and process adaptability to industrial production.
