The invention relates to a houghite hydrocracking catalyst and a preparation method thereof, and component of the houghite hydrocracking catalyst is Ni / Me-Mg-Al-O, wherein, Me is one or two elements of Co, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu. The catalyst is used for hydrocracking
tar component in
coke-oven gas at high temperature to transform the
coke-oven gas to rich hydrogenous permanent gas, pertaining to
coke-oven gas hydrocracking process and catalyst technology field. The invention has the advantages that: urealysis-homogeneous co-
precipitation is adopted, Al, Me, Ni and correspondent
divalent metal salt are dissolved in aqueous
urea solution, and urealysis speed is controlled by
reaction temperature and reaction time; reactive precipitate is filtered, washed and dried, and after
roasting for 15 to 20 hours at 500 to 600 DEG C and 3 to 5 hours at 750 to 850 DEG C, and 20 to 40 meshes of particle is obtained after
grinding and screening, which is houghite hydrocracking catalyst. The catalyst prepared by the method of the invention has the advantages of high
crystallinity, good dispersivity, large specific surface and long service life, etc.
