A precious metal-supported eggshell catalyst with a preparation method and an application are provided. The precious metal-supported eggshell catalyst includes a carrier, a precious metal and a promoter. As an active component, the precious metal and the promoter are evenly distributed on surface of the carrier, wherein the promoter includes one or more than two of a precious metal, an alkaline earth metal, a transition metal lanthanide series metal, an actinium series metal and/or a metal oxide thereof. With a highly utilization of the precious metal, the precious metal-supported eggshell catalyst showed high conversion, good selectivity and excellent stability, and the precious metal-supported eggshell catalyst is used more than 300 hours with no obvious loss of activity in preparing 1,3-propanediol through hydrogenation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde aqueous solution. Furthermore, with large particles the precious metal-supported eggshell catalyst is easily separated from reaction products.

A Raney copper catalyst, a preparation method and use thereof are provided. The Raney copper catalyst includes aluminum, copper and a metal promoter, wherein the metal promoter comprises a combination of one or more of Ni, Fe, Mo, Co, Ag, Pd, Pt, Au and other elements. The preparation method includes performing high-temperature melting on a mixture containing a copper/aluminum alloy and the metal promoter to obtain a mixed metal cured compound, then smashing the mixed metal cured compound to obtain a catalyst precursor, and subsequently activating to obtain the Raney copper catalyst. The Raney copper catalyst exhibits a capability on hydrogenation reaction based on synergistic effects between metal copper and different promoter metals. Compared with the Raney copper catalyst without metal promoters, when used for preparing 1,3-propanediol through hydrogenation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde aqueous solution, the Raney copper catalyst is higher in activity and better in stability.
