The invention discloses an
octanol hydrorefining catalyst, which belongs to the field of hydrorefining catalytic materials. The prepared catalyst is used for modifying a carrier by using a
rare earth element, reducing the amount of an
active component of a
nickel ion entering a carrier framework and improving the content of surface
nickel species; the
active component is loaded by adopting a
hydrothermal deposition method, the dispersion of
nickel salts on the surface of a carrier pore canal by using hydrothermal high-temperature and high-pressure conditions and forming nickel
precipitation with proper size at the loading initial period of the
active component by using a deposition reaction, so the invention can effectively control the amount of the
nickel ions entering the carrier, improve the content of the surface nickel species and simultaneously can avoid the growth of
nickel oxide particles; and the catalyst greatly increases the surface nickel
active site, effectively improves the
utilization rate of the active component of nickel and has higher catalytic reaction activity during hydrorefining the
octanol at higher
airspeed. The result shows that the hydrogenation rate of an unsaturated substance in crude
octanol reaches over 90 percent when the temperature is 120DEG c, the pressure is 2.5MPa, the ratio of
hydrogen to liquid for feeding is 8:1 and the
airspeed is 30<-1>hour.
