Finally, impregnating the carrier with impregnating solution prepared by the residual active metal in a saturated impregnation mode, and drying and roasting to obtain the hydrodemetallization catalyst. In addition, the impregnating solution is added with water-soluble high polymer, and the final roasting atmosphere is mixed atmosphere roasting, so that the pore canal and pore opening structure on the surface of the catalyst are released, the blocking phenomenon of the pore opening in the impregnation process is prevented, the high polymer is incompletely decomposed to form carbon points distributed in a punctiform manner, the acidity of the catalyst can be properly regulated, the interaction between the active metal and the carrier is reduced, and the dispersion degree of the active metal on the surface of the catalyst is promoted.
