The invention relates to a
cobalt-
molybdenum low-temperature
sulfur tolerant shift catalyst and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the technical field of
carbon monoxide shifting. The catalyst comprises active ingredients, an accessory ingredient and carriers, wherein the active ingredients include a cobaltiferous compound and a
molybdenum-containing compound, the accessory ingredient is a
lanthanum rare earth accessory ingredient, and the carriers include
boehmite, nano
zirconium oxide and
activated carbon. According to
cobalt-
molybdenum low-temperature
sulfur tolerant shift catalyst, AlOOH is utilized to replace an Al2O3 ingredient commonly used in an industrial catalyst, so that the problem that a catalyst containing a gamma-Al2O3 carrier is subjected to phase transformation caused by soaking in water due to working condition changes during operation at a temperature approximate to the
dew point can be avoided; the
activated carbon ingredient has relatively high specific surface and adsorptive properties, is beneficial to uniform distribution of the active ingredients, and is capable of enhancing adsorptive collection of
hydrogen sulfide, so that the shift activity is improved; nano
zirconium oxide is capable of improving the
crack resistance and tenacity of a common
activated carbon carrier; the
rare earth accessory ingredient can be used for improving the activity stability and
structural stability of the shift catalyst; the preparation method is simple and practical and is easy in production.
