The invention relates to a catalytic
cracking catalyst and a preparation method thereof, wherein the catalyst comprises 15-65% of natural minerals, 10-30% of an
oxide, and 25-75% of a Y-type molecularsieve and a
phosphorus-containing and supported
metal-containing IMF structural
molecular sieve, the Al distribution parameter D of the
phosphorus-containing and supported
metal-containing IMF structural
molecular sieve is more than or equal to 0.6 and is less than or equal to 0.85, the volume of mesopores accounts for 50-80% of the total volume of pores, the volume of pores with a pore size of 2-20 nm accounts for more than 85% of the total volume of mesopores, the strong acid accounts for 50-80%, a ratio of an acid B to an acid L is 7-30, the
phosphorus content is 0.1-15 wt%, and the supported
metal content is 0.1-5 wt%. The preparation method comprises: carrying out mixing beating on the phosphorus-containing and supported metal-containing IMF structural
molecular sieve, the Y-type molecular
sieve, the natural minerals and an
inorganic oxide binder, and carrying out
spray drying. According to the present invention, with the application of the catalytic
cracking catalyst in catalytic
cracking of
petroleum hydrocarbons, the yield of low-carbon olefins is high.
