A method for preparing a supported catalyst, the supported catalyst being a surface deposited supported germanium-based catalyst, wherein, the catalyst comprises a carrier, a supported deposition layer, and an active component, the carrier is an inorganic porous material modified and coated by a silicate ester, the supported deposition layer is located on the carrier and has a porous structure, and the active component is deposited on the supported deposition layer, and the preparation method comprises steps of:
- carrying out a precipitation reaction on a suspension of the carrier, a water-soluble calcium salt, a water-soluble aluminum salt, a water-soluble zirconium salt with a water-soluble hydroxide and an alkali, filtering, and heat treating to form the supported deposition layer on the carrier;
- the alkali is selected from carbonates and/or bicarbonates;
- the specific surface area of the carrier containing the supported deposition layer is greater than the specific surface area of the carrier;
- dispersing the carrier containing the supported deposition layer in water to obtain a suspension of the carrier containing the supported deposition layer;
- carrying out a hydrolysis reaction on the suspension of the carrier containing the supported deposition layer with a germanium source to obtain a catalyst precursor;
- carrying out a reaction on the catalyst precursor with a silicate ester and water, and loading the active component on the supported deposition layer to obtain the surface deposited supported germanium-based catalyst;
- the water-soluble hydroxide is selected from one or two of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide;
- the molar ratio of the water-soluble calcium salt, the water-soluble aluminum salt and the water-soluble zirconium salt for preparing the carrier containing the supported deposition layer is (0.5-2.5):(1.0-2.0):(0.8-3.5);
- in the surface deposited supported germanium-based catalyst, the mass ratio of the carrier, the supported deposition layer and the effective germanium in the active component is (72.5-87.5):(7.5-12.5):(5.0-15.0), wherein the inorganic porous material is selected from nanoporous alumina, nanoporous alumina-zirconia, nanoporous silica, nanoporous barium sulfate, and combinations thereof, with a particle size of 20-80 nm and a specific surface area of 220-400 m2/g.
