Method for hydrogenation of C5 dicyclopentadiene

The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene, in particular to a method for hydrogenation of C5 dicyclopentadiene. According to the method for the hydrogenation of the C5 dicyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene which is separated from C5 is used as a raw material, and the content of polymer as well as cyclopentane and cyclopentene in a hydrogenated product is remarkably reduced by adopting a nickel-containing metal catalyst under the conditions that the hydrogen partial pressure is 3.0 to 10.0 MPa, and the reaction temperature is 70 to 120 DEG C and the time is 2 to 24 hours, so that the problems of dicyclopentadiene polymerization and open-loop hydrogenation in a hydrogenation process are effectively solved. The method can be applied to industrial production of the hydrogenation of the C5 dicyclopentadiene.
