The invention provides a preparation method of a supported
nickel phosphide catalyst for catalyzing
hydrodeoxygenation of
phenol and a derivative thereof. The catalyst is supported
nickel phosphide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1, taking
nickel nitrate hexahydrate and dissolving
nickel nitrate hexahydrate in deionized water to form a solution; 2, adding a carrier, and performing continuous stirring and heating; 3, weighing
urea and adding
urea into the obtained solution, and adding concentrated
nitric acid; 4, dropwise adding the solution obtained in the step 3 into the suspension solution in the step 2, performing heating after the drop addition is completed, and continuously carrying out a reaction; 5, performing vacuum
filtration, performing washing with deionized water until a filtrate is neutral, and performing
drying in an oven overnight to obtain a gray-black
solid; 6, preparing an
acetic acid-
sodium acetate
buffer solution, then adding
sodium hypophosphite and performing continuous stirring and heating, and slowly adding a precursor compound; and 7, performing vacuum
filtration after a reaction, performing washing with deionized water until a filtrate is neutral, performing
drying in an oven overnight, performing heat treatment in a chemical
atmosphere, and then performing cooling annealing to obtain the supported nickel
phosphide catalyst. Thecatalyst obtained by the method has good
dispersity,
small particle size and good HDO activity.
