The invention discloses a template method for preparing a catalyst for anthraquinone hydrogenation for producing hydrogen peroxide. The method comprises the following steps that (1) ethyl alcohol is added into a three-necked flask; then, a MgCl2-NH4HCO3 mixed solution is added; after stirring and still standing, the obtained white solid is filtered and is washed by pure water; then, the filtered and washed white solid is dispersed into pure water for heat insulation; next, filtering is performed; the pure water and the ethyl alcohol are used for alternate washing; drying is performed to obtain Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2.4H2O (MCH for short ); (2) the MCH is dispersed into the ethyl alcohol; an ethyl alcohol solution of Al(NO3)3 is added under the stirring condition; after hydrothermal treatment, the mixture is filtered; washing is performed with ethyl alcohol; after drying and roasting are performed, gamma-Al2O3 microsphere powder is obtained; (3) the active ingredient Pd- is loaded by using the prepared gamma-Al2O3 as a carrier by an equivalent-volume impregnation method; through washing, drying and roasting, the catalyst is prepared. The catalyst has higher hydrogenation efficiency in anthraquinone hydrogenation reaction; the highest anthraquinone cycle recovery rate is 96.9 percent.
