An alkylation catalyst having a zeolite catalyst component and a binder component providing mechanical support for the zeolite catalyst component is disclosed. The binder component is an ion-modified binder that can include metal ions selected from the group consisting of Co, Mn, Ti, Zr, V, Nb, K, Cs, Ga, B, P, Rb, Ag, Na, Cu, Mg, Fe, Mo, Ce, and combinations thereof. The metal ions reduce the number of acid sites on the zeolite catalyst component. The metal ions can range from 0.1 to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the ion-modified binder. Optionally, the ion-modified binder is present in amounts ranging from 1 to 80 wt % based on the total weight of the catalyst.

The present invention relates to a heavy oil catalytic cracking catalyst having a high yield of light oil and preparation methods thereof. The catalyst comprises 2 to 50% by weight of a magnesium-modified ultra-stable rare earth type Y molecular sieve, 0.5 to 30% by weight of one or more other molecular sieves, 0.5 to 70% by weight of clay, 1.0 to 65% by weight of high-temperature-resistant inorganic oxides, and 0.01 to 12.5% by weight of rare earth oxide. The magnesium-modified ultra-stable rare earth type Y molecular sieve is obtained by the following manner: the raw material, a NaY molecular sieve, is subjected to a rare earth exchange, a dispersing pre-exchange, a magnesium salt exchange modification, an ammonium salt exchange for sodium reduction, a second exchange and a second calcination. The catalyst provided in the present invention is characteristic in its high conversion capacity of heavy oil and a high yield of light oil.
