The invention discloses an oxidation-state semi-regenerative reforming catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps that step 1, an
alumina carrier is prepared, wherein
alumina is gamma-
alumina prepared from aluminum
hydroxide prepared through
hydrolysis of alkoxy aluminum; step 2, an impregnation solution is prepared, wherein the impregnation solution contains a
platinum compound, a
rhenium compound, a competitive adsorbent and a
nitrogen-containing compound, and the
nitrogen-containing compound is
urea; step 3, the alumina carrier is impregnated, theimpregnation solution is dried by
distillation, and the temperature of
drying by
distillation is 50-60 DEG C; step 4, the catalyst is dried and activated. The oxidation-state semi-regenerative reforming catalyst and the preparation method thereof have the advantages that the
urea is introduced into the impregnation solution, the interaction of
metal components and the carrier is enhanced, the
metal components are not easy to gather, the particle sizes of
platinum atom clusters of the catalyst are smaller, the occurrence of
hydrogen hydrolysis side reactions during a reforming reaction is reduced,
hydrogen hydrolytic byproduct
methane is less, and the selectivity of product arene is high.
