The invention discloses a method for preparing a high-activity
copper zirconium catalyst by utilizing
zirconium oxide ball milling chips. The method comprises the following steps: adding
sodium hydroxide into the
zirconium oxide ball milling chips, performing
calcination, wherein
calcination temperature is 385 DEG C and
calcination time is 2.5 h, taking out a calcination product, adding hot pure water, performing washing, and performing
filtration to obtain a
sodium zirconate solution; introducing
carbon dioxide into the
sodium zirconate solution obtained in the step (1) until a pH of the solution is 7.85, performing
filtration, performing washing, adding a
copper acetate solution, performing slurrying, and performing
spray drying on the
slurry material to obtain dried
powder; and puttingthe dried
powder obtained in the step (2) into a
hydrogen reduction furnace, performing reduction, wherein reduction temperature is 458 DEG C and reduction time is 1.95 h, performing gas flow crushingunder
nitrogen protection, performing sieving, and performing vacuum packaging to obtain the
copper zirconium catalyst. The method disclosed by the invention reduces costs, realizes
resource utilization of waste; and the catalyst has stable components, a large specific surface area and strong catalytic activity.
