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.

A method for making a metal carbide based catalyst for crude oil cracking includes mixing a clay with a phosphorous based stabilizer material to obtain a liquid slurry; adding an aluminosilicate zeolite and an ultrastable Y zeolite to the liquid slurry; adding Al.sub.2Cl(OH).sub.5 to the liquid slurry; adding metal carbide particles, having a given diameter, to the liquid slurry to obtain a mixture; and spray drying the mixture to obtain the metal carbide based catalyst. The metal carbide particles are coated with the aluminosilicate zeolite and the ultrastable Y zeolite.

A modified zeolite has 0.5-15 wt % of an IVB group metal element in terms of oxide on the dry basis weight of the modified zeolite.
