The catalyst has a specific surface area of ​​30 m². 2 / g~60m 2 The catalyst prepared by this invention has high activity and selectivity for 2-ethylhexanol, while also exhibiting better performance strength and a lower color number, making it suitable for the gas-phase hydrogenation of octenal to 2-ethylhexanol.

[0003] Chinese patent CN114082421A discloses a hydrogenation catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in the hydrogenation of isooctene aldehyde.
