Two kinds of surfactants were used to synthesize a series of [Pd-Pt]/C bimetallic catalysts. These catalysts were characterized and used in selective hydrogenation of quinoline to 1,2,3,4-tetraquinoline. The 5wt%[Pd-Pt(1:3)]/C hold the highest activity among these catalysts. The effect of solvent，temperature，pressure and the initial concentration on the reaction was studied. The conversion of quinoline was 100% and the selectivity of 1,2,3,4-tetraquinoline was up to 100% under optimal reaction conditions: c( quinoline) = 2.4 mol /L,130℃,2.5 MPa, 50min.
