The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a
ruthenium-based catalyst, and belongs to the field of organic catalytic synthesis. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding glacial
acetic acid into a reaction container, adding tetrabutyl
titanate while stirring at
room temperature, stirring, transferring into a reaction kettle with a
polytetrafluoroethylene lining, crystallizing, cooling to
room temperature, filtering and washing with absolute ethyl
alcohol,
drying overnight, and calcining a collected sample to obtain TiO2; the method comprises the following steps: at
room temperature, adding a RuCl3 solution into a container, then adjusting the pH value of the RuCl3 solution by using a NaOH solution, adding TiO2 into the solution, then adjusting the pH value of the solution by using the NaOH solution, stirring, heating a suspension, continuously stirring, standing, precipitating, centrifugally filtering, washing by using deionized water,
drying, and marking as Ru / TiO2-Fresh; taking Ru / TiO2-Fresh, dispersing the Ru / TiO2-Fresh in deionized water, mixing and stirring, dropwise adding a
reducing agent for reaction, washing with deionized water for multiple times, and then
drying to obtain the
ruthenium-based catalyst. The catalyst provided by the invention realizes the preparation of high-density
aviation fuel by catalyzing one-step hydrogenation saturation of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
