The invention provides a hydrorefining catalyst special for new coal tar, a preparation method and an application method thereof, which are used for solving problems existing in the conventional hydrogenation catalyst for coal tar. The hydrorefining catalyst consists of active components, aids and carriers, wherein the active components refer to MoO3 and NiO or MoO3 and CoO; the aids refer to Bi2O3 and K2O; and the carriers refer to alumina and barium oxide. According to calculation by the form of an oxide, the active components, the aids and the carriers account for 15 to 35 percent, 2 to 5 percent and 60 to 83 percent of the total mass of the catalyst respectively. The catalyst is prepared by the following steps of: kneading, grinding, extruding into strips, molding, soaking, performing catalyst post-treatment and the like. New ultrasonic soaking technology is introduced, and the preparation condition of the catalyst is controlled strictly. Compared with the prior art, the catalyst has high surface physical and chemical properties, high purified atom degumming activity, high hydrogenation saturation capability, high stability and high mechanical intensity, and the quality and yield of hydrogenation product oil can be enhanced effectively.
