Abstract

The present invention relates to: a catalyst for glycerin dehydration; a preparation method therefor; and an acrolein preparation method using the catalyst. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the catalyst is used in glycerin dehydration so as to exhibit high catalytic activity, a high yield and high acrolein selectivity, and has a characteristic in which carbon is not readily deposited, thereby having a long lifetime compared with that of a conventional catalyst.
