Disclosed are a grain boundary and surface-doped rare earth manganese-zirconium composite compound as well as a preparation method and use thereof. A rare earth manganese oxide with a special structure is formed at grain boundary and surface of a rare earth zirconium-based oxide by a grain boundary doping method so as to increase oxygen defects at the grain boundary and the surface, thereby increasing the amount of active oxygen, improving the catalytic activity of the rare earth manganese-zirconium composite compound, inhibiting high-temperature sintering of the rare earth manganese-zirconium composite compound, and improving the NO catalytic oxidation capability. When the rare earth manganese-zirconium composite compound is applied to a catalyst, the consumption of noble metal can be greatly reduced.

A method for preparing 1,3-propanediol with a high space-time yield, in which A methyl 3-hydroxypropionate solution is pumped into a tubular fixed-bed reactor loaded with a surface modifier-coated nano-Cu-based catalyst for continuous hydrogenation to obtain a reaction mixture, where the catalyst includes Cu as active component, a metal oxide XO.sub.n/2 as additive and a SiO.sub.2SnO.sub.2 composite carrier. The reaction mixture is subjected to rectification to separate light components from heavy components, where the light components include methanol, n-propanol, methyl propionate, methyl 3-hydroxypropionate and 1,3-propanediol, and the heavy components include 1,3-propanediol mono-propionate and 1,3-propanediol mono-3-hydroxypropionate. The heavy components are fed back to the tubular fixed-bed reactor for secondary hydrogenation, and the light components are separated to obtain 1,3-propanediol.
