The invention discloses a catalytic rectification plate tower capable of replacing catalysts on-line, which comprises a tray, a plurality of gas-liquid contact elements arranged on the tray, a plurality of suspended downcomers, and a suspended The liquid receiving tray and the catalyst loading and unloading hole for loading and unloading the catalyst on the tray, the free space surrounded by the suspended downcomer, the gas-liquid contact element, the tray and the tower wall is the catalyst loading area, and the catalyst is scattered in the In the catalyst loading area, the suspended downcomer includes an inner downcomer passing through the tray and an outer guide cover covering the part of the inner downcomer above the bottom of the tray. The tray does not need to carry out complex packaging of the catalyst, but directly packs the catalyst in bulk on the tray, and the online catalyst replacement can be realized without stopping the device, the catalyst is evenly distributed, the tray pressure is reduced, and the rectification efficiency is high. At the same time, expensive catalyst packaging materials and fillers are omitted, and the cost can be significantly reduced.
