Abstract

A catalyst composition composed of a crystalline aluminosilicate Y zeolite, normally having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio of about 6.2 or above, in combination with a porous, inorganic refractory oxide. The Y zeolite contains ion-exchanged rare earth cations and ion-exchanged Group VIII noble metal cations. The combination of the zeolite and the refractory oxide contains between 4.5 weight percent and about 6.0 weight percent water. Such a catalyst containing the recited amount of water has been found to have consistently high activities when used as a catalyst in a hydrocracking process. The Y zeolites used as part of the catalyst are typically prepared by contacting an ammonium-exchanged Y zeolite with an aqueous solution of ammonium fluorosilicate.
