The invention specifically relates to a
benzene hydrorefining catalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of
benzene hydrorefining catalysts. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1. Uniformly mixing raw materials for a carrier of the
benzene hydrorefining catalyst, carrying out
extrusion granulation, and then carrying out sinteringmolding at 680 to 700 DEG C to obtain the carrier; S2, adding
phosphoric acid into water with a temperature of 46-50 DEG C, carrying out uniform mixing, then carrying out heating to 88-92 DEG C, adding
cobalt carbonate for a reaction, then adding
molybdenum trioxide after
gas release of the reaction is completed, and then carrying out mixing and dissolving to obtain an activation solution; S3, placing the carrier in an enclosed reactor, and carrying out multi-stage high-temperature activation; and S4, carrying out cooling to
room temperature to obtain the benzene hydrorefining catalyst. According to the invention,
phosphoric acid and
rare earth metals are added into the benzene hydrorefining catalyst, so dispersion of the
active component molybdenum is facilitated, the specific surface area of the catalyst is larger and more uniform, and active sites are increased; moreover, the preparation method is simple and employs a multi-stage high-temperature activation manner for activation, so the
water content of the catalyst is reduced, the
water resistance of the catalyst is improved, and the service life of the catalyst is prolonged.
