The present invention provides a kind of 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-
hexanal liquid phase hydrogenation catalyst and its preparation method and application, relating to the field of catalysts; The catalyst obtained is with ZnO / SiO2 as carrier, and the Zn / Si
molar ratio in the carrier is 1: 2-5, with Cu and Ni as active ingredients, and by
mass percentage, the carrier content is 70-80%, the
active component CuO content is 15-20%, and the NiO content is 5-10%. During preparation, silica
sol and
zinc nitrate are mixed and added to the reactor with stirring, alkali liquor is quickly added, and then the
nitrate solution of
active component is mixed and added thereto, and after
neutralization, it is washed, filtered, dried, granulated, roasted, and finally sheeted into a
ring type to obtain a catalyst. The catalyst obtained by the present invention, the isononanal conversion rate reaches more than 99%, and the isononanol selectivity reaches more than 99%, with excellent activity, selectivity and stability, which is conducive to industrial application promotion.
