The invention discloses a supported foamy copper catalyst used for removing acrylonitrile through supercritical water oxidation. A preparation method of the catalyst comprises the following steps: cleaning foamy copper and then modifying foamy copper with AgNO3, thus preparing a substance M; modifying the substance M with mixed liquor prepared from polyvinylpyrrolidone, methanol, palladium dichloride, gold chloride, concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium borohydride, thus preparing a substance N; modifying the substance N with mixed liquor prepared from PbCl2, SrCl2, concentrated nitric acid, urea and ammonium fluoride, thus preparing a substance O; modifying the substance O with mixed liquor prepared from tetra-n-butyl titanate, tetraethyl orthosilicate and acetylacetone, thus preparing a substance P; modifying the substance P with mixed liquor prepared from ZrCl4, CdCl2 and AlCl3, thus preparing a substance Q; modifying the substance Q with mixed liquor prepared from ZnCl2, BiCl3, NaOH, Na2CO3 and CuCl2, thus obtaining a substance, namely the supported foamy copper catalyst used for removing acrylonitrile through supercritical water oxidation.
