The invention discloses a preparation method of a high-efficiency hydrogenation catalyst, which comprises the following steps: preparing
silicate by using tetrapropylammonium
hydroxide as a template agent and tetraethoxysilane as a
silicon source, and carrying out alkali treatment to obtain a hollow
silicate material; 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is adopted to treat the hollow
silicate carrier, and a functionalized hollow silicate material is obtained; the preparation method comprises the following steps: loading
cerium by taking a functionalized hollow silicate material as a carrier, and then adding into a
mixed metal salt solution of
nickel nitrate hexahydrate and
titanium sulfate for
coprecipitation treatment to obtain a catalyst precursor; mixing
ethanol and tetrahydronaphthalene, adding
sodium borohydride, stirring until the
sodium borohydride is dissolved to obtain a mixed
solvent, adding the catalyst precursor, transferring the
mixed solution into a high-pressure kettle, and sealing to obtain the catalyst. The self-made hollow silicate material is adopted as the carrier,
cerium,
nickel and
titanium are loaded in sequence, the prepared catalyst is large in specific surface area and high in catalytic activity, and the purity and yield of gamma-butyrolactone are effectively improved when the catalyst is used in gamma-butyrolactone synthesis.
