The invention discloses a modified Y type
molecular sieve as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The Y type
molecular sieve has the following properties: the
crystal particle
average diameter is 2.0 to 5.0 mu m, the relative
crystallinity is 100 percent to 140 percent, the
molar ratio of SiO2 / Al2O3 is 30 to 100 and is preferably 40 to 100, the
crystal cell parameter is 2.428 to 2.445nm, and the pore volume of a hole with the hole
diameter being 2nm to 8nm accounts for 80 percent to 95 percent, preferably 80 percent to 90 percent of the total pore volume. The
total acid content of NH3-TPD is 0.2 to 1.0mmol / g, wherein, the strong acid accounts for 75 percent or more of the
total acid amount at the temperature larger than 250 DEG C, the pore volume of the Y type
molecular sieve is 0.55cm<3> / g to 0.70cm<3> / g, and the specific surface area is 700m<2> / g to 1000m<2> / g. The molecular
sieve has the advantages of large
crystal particle, high crystalline, high
silicon, more concentrated effective hole
diameter distribution, favorable
heat stability and hydrothermal stability and the like, and is suitable to be used for preparing a hydrogenation catalyst.
