The invention relates to a layered composite carrier containing spinel, and mainly solves the problems in the prior art, such as the specific surface area of the layered composite carrier is small, the coating layer is thick, the dispersity of the manufactured thin shell shaped catalyst noble metal is low, the utilization ratio is poor and the selectivity is low. The invention better solves the problems by the following technical proposal: a layered composite carrier containing the spinel is adopted and is composed of an inner core of the spinel and a porous coating material outer layer combined on the spinel, wherein, the structural general formula of the spinel is AB2O4, and A is bivalent cation; B is tervalence cation, the use level of the spinel is 75 to 95 percent of the weight of the layered composite carrier, and the porous coating material is at lease one selected from Gamma-Al2O3, Delta-Al2O3, Eta-Al2O3, Theta-Al2O3, silicon oxide/aluminium oxide, zeolite, non-zeolite molecular sieve, titanium oxide or zirconium oxide. The layered composite carrier containing the spinel can be applied to the industrial production of the thin shell shaped noble metal catalyst.
