The invention discloses a
composite oxide hydrogenation catalyst and a preparation method thereof. On the basis of the weight of the catalyst, the total content of W, Mo and Ni oxides is 45%-85%, and the content of Al2O3 is 15%-55%; the pore volume of pores with the
diameter of 8-15 nm of the catalyst accounts for 39%-49% of the total pore volume, and the pore volume of pores with the
diameter of 30-35 nm accounts for 40%-50% of the total pore volume. The number of particles with the particle size of 20-30 nm of the catalyst accounts for 84%-93% of the total number of particles. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out parallel flow gel formation on a solution containing W, Ni, Mo and Al and a precipitator to obtain
slurry, aging a part of the
slurry to obtain aged
slurry, and mixing the aged slurry with the other part of slurry which is not aged; (2) aging the mixed slurry, adding a W-containing solution in the aging process, carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a
solid-phase material, carrying out
carbon dioxide purging, and washing with water at different temperatures; and (3) preparing the washed material into the
composite oxide hydrogenation catalyst. The catalyst provided by the invention is suitable for treating inferior diesel fractions with high
aromatic hydrocarbon content and high
processing difficulty, and has excellent hydrogenation saturation performance.
