The invention discloses a supported
palladium catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst comprises a carrier, aid ingredients and an
active ingredient, wherein the carrier is gamma-aluminum
oxide, the aid ingredients are
lanthanum and
manganese or
lanthanum and
cobalt, and the
active ingredient is
palladium; the
palladium load capacity is 0.2 wt% to 0.8 wt%, the
lanthanum load capacity is 0.5 wt% to 1.5 wt%, and the
manganese or
cobalt load capacity is 0.2 wt% to 0.5 wt%. According to the catalyst, the carrier is modified with aids subjected to vacuum adsorption
drying, and a proper amount of the
manganese or the
cobalt is added, so that the growth of Al2O3
crystal particles during high-
temperature treatment can be inhibited, the specific surface area of the catalyst is enlarged, the Pd
dispersity is improved, the
alkalinity of the carrier surface is enhanced, the Pd concentration of the catalyst surface is increased, the Pd
layer thickness is reduced, and the hydrogenation activity and selectivity of the catalyst are improved; meanwhile, the prepared catalyst is high in
mechanical strength, uniform in aperture distribution and low in
impurity content.
