The invention discloses a hydroisomerization catalyst, a preparation method and an application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: a) providing a catalyst precursor containing a carrier, and a compound containing noble metals in the VIII group and a compound containing a second
metal which are both supported on the carrier, wherein the two compounds hereinabove are both non-oxides, the second
metal is one or more than two selected from the
metal in the VB group, the metal in the VIB group, non-
noble metal in the VIII group and
lanthanum-series metals, the carrier containing mesoporous
molecular sieve; and b)
roasting the catalyst precursor in an
atmosphere formed by a gas containing an oxidizing gas and a
halogen-containing compound. The invention also discloses a hydroisomerization method for hydrocracked
tail oil with the hydroisomerization catalyst. The hydroisomerization catalyst, when being used in the hydroisomerization for the hydrocracked
tail oil, can be used for producing an isomerized product having high
viscosity index and low
pour point, which is suitable for being used as
lubricant basic oil.
