The invention provides a low-temperature
aromatic hydrocarbon saturated non-
noble metal catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst Ni / CeAlOx takes a
cerium-aluminum
composite oxide as a carrier and
metal nickel as an
active component, and has the advantages of nanoscale dispersion, high specific surface area and surface acidity of 150-165 umol / g, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving a
nickel salt, a
cerium salt, an aluminum salt and
urea in deionized water, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction to obtain a precursor, and carrying out
calcination and
hydrogen reduction to obtain the catalyst Ni / CeAlOx. The catalyst does not need to be pre-vulcanized, does not contain
noble metal, shows excellent deep hydrogenation activity and selectivity of
aromatic hydrocarbon under the conditions of low temperature (130-280 DEG C) and low pressure (2.5 MPa), can realize complete conversion and decahydronaphthalene selectivity of over 96% for
naphthalene hydrogenation, can efficiently treat a high-temperature
coal tar complex system, greatly reduces the
aromatic hydrocarbon content, and has a wide application prospect. The method has the advantages of low cost, environmental friendliness and the like, and provides an efficient catalytic solution for high-value utilization of
coal tar.
