The invention discloses a preparation method for synthesizing a
methanol catalyst. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving a soluble salt of Cu into water to prepare a solution A, adding a
sodium metaaluminate alkaline solution and the solution A into a reaction tank with pure water to perform gelatinizing reaction in a parallel flow mode at the same time, thereby obtaining
slurry I; (2) dissolving a soluble salt of Zn into water to prepare a solution B, dropwise adding the
sodium metaaluminate alkaline solution into the solution B to perform gelatinizing reaction,thereby obtaining
slurry II; (3) uniformly mixing the
slurry I with the slurry II, aging under a stirring condition, filtering after
ageing is ended, and performing hydro-
thermal treatment on obtained materials through
water vapor, wherein
urea is added during hydro-
thermal treatment; and (4) washing, filtering,
drying,
roasting, tabletting and forming, thereby obtaining the catalyst. A
utilization rate of active
metal copper in a
surface phase of the catalyst prepared by the method is high,
copper and
zinc distribution is more uniform, the catalyst is reasonable in pore structure, activity,selectivity and
thermal stability of the catalyst are improved, and the service life of the catalyst is prolonged.
