The invention provides a binder for a catalytic
cracking catalyst and a preparation method thereof, the binder comprises a
sizing material, a curing agent and a modifier, and the curing agent is prepared from a gamma-
alumina precursor, an acid and an
alkyl ammonium salt through a
hydrothermal reaction; the modifier is prepared by reaction of a polymeshed chelating ligand, a
metal center ligand,
ethanol and
organic acid; the
sizing material comprises a
phosphorus-containing compound and an aluminum-containing compound. In the
adhesive of the catalytic
cracking catalyst provided by the invention, a
metal center ligand composed of a multi-
metal chelating ligand and a plurality of metals is introduced, under the promotion of
organic acid and
ethanol, a multi-
metal chelate modifier can be prepared in situ in the process of preparing the
adhesive, and compared with the direct use of a commercially available
metal chelate, the preparation method has the advantages that the cost is low, and the efficiency is high. The in-situ prepared multi-
metal chelate modifier has better water
solubility, can promote the combination of the modifier and the
phosphorus-aluminum
sol, and has a better modification effect.
