There is also known a method of cracking oil fractions in the presence of zeolite-containing aluminosilicate catalysts with the addition of trace amounts of platinum 0.0001-0.1 wt. % (US Patent N 4429053, class B 01 J 29/12; French Patent N 2500326, class B 01 J 29/12; Yandieva L.A. Zakarina N.A. Cracking catalysts and zeolites. Collection of scientific works of the GrozNII, M., TSNIITENEFTEKHIM, 1984, N 38, p. 76-80).

Closest to the proposed method in technical essence and the achieved result is a method for producing motor fuels by cracking petroleum fractions in the presence of a platinum zeolite-containing rare earth aluminosilicate catalyst with a platinum content of 0.00001-0.002% (Patent FR 2407745, 1979). The zeolite content of the salt-treated metal II-VIII gr. accounts for 12-60%; the catalyst also contains possibly ≅ 75% clay, 20-50% α-Al ₂ O ₃ trihydrate and an inorganic binder of the oxide type.

 The disadvantage of this method of producing motor fuels by cracking petroleum fractions is the insufficiently high yield of the gasoline fraction.

 The objective of the present invention is to increase the yield of the gasoline fraction by increasing the activity and selectivity of the used platinum-resin-containing rare-earth aluminosilicate catalyst.

The problem is solved by the proposed method for producing motor fuels by catalytic cracking of oil fractions in the presence of a platinum zeolite-containing rare-earth aluminosilicate catalyst, in which a catalyst consisting of 5-20 wt.% Zeolite Y with a molar ratio of silicon oxide: aluminum oxide of 4.5-9 is used , 5, and 80-95 wt.% Aluminosilicate base and having a chemical composition, wt.%:

The process of producing motor fuels by cracking oil fractions is as follows: on ball catalysts, vacuum gas oil cracking is carried out at a temperature of 450-480 ^o C, the volumetric feed rate of 1.0-2.5 h ^-1 , the catalyst circulation ratio of 1.5-2 5 kg / kg; on microspherical catalysts, cracking is carried out at 470-510 ^o C, a feed space velocity of 4.8 h ^-1 , a circulation ratio of 6.9 kg / kg.

 The catalyst is prepared according to the following procedure.

Aqueous solutions of aluminum sulfate, acidified with sulfuric acid, containing 15-25 kg / m ³ of aluminum oxide and 50-80 kg / m ^{3 of} sulfuric acid, sodium silicate (water glass) with a NaOH concentration of 1.4-1.8 kg • equiv. / m ³ and a NaY zeolite suspension containing 30-110 kg / m ³ zeolite are mixed in a mixer to form an aluminosilicate zeolite-containing hydrosol, which is further coagulated at 5-20 ^° C and pH 7.5-8.5 into a ball hydrogel in a layer of mineral oil. Further, the hydrogel can be subjected to syneresis at 35-60 ^o C for 6-24 hours. Next, the hydrogel is treated with an aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate or sulfate at a concentration of 5-20 kg / m ³ at 35-60 ^o C for 12-36 hours and an aqueous solution rare earth nitrates of a concentration of 1-5 kg / m ³ (calculated as rare earth oxides) for 24-36 hours or a mixture thereof, washed with condensate water containing iron cations 0.01-0.4 kg / m ³ , calcium 0 , 01-0.5 kg / m ³ , magnesium 0.001-0.5 kg / m ³ (calculated as metal oxides) at 35-60 ^o C for 8-24 hours, washed with condensate water at 35-60 ^o C in echenie 8-24 hours, dried at 110-190 ^o C and calcined at 650-750 ^o C for 12-24 h in a stream of vapor.

Platinum is introduced into the catalyst by adding platinum hydrochloric acid, H ₂ PtCl ₆ · 6H ₂ O, to an aluminum sulfate solution in an amount of 0.0002-0.04 kg / m ³ (calculated on platinum) or in an amount of 0.0006-0.085 kg / m ³ (calculated on platinum) in an aqueous suspension of zeolite.

Upon receipt of the catalyst in microspherical form, the hydrogel beads after washing are dispersed in water at 20-60 ^o C, spray drying at a temperature of inlet of flue gases 400-650 ^o C and exit 160-190 ^o C and calcination in a fluidized bed at 600-750 ^o C for 12-24 hours in a stream of vapor-air mixture.

 The microspherical catalyst is also obtained by screen separation of the catalyst in a ball form after the drying and / or calcining step, taking a fraction of balls with a diameter of less than 2 mm and subsequent grinding to a fraction of 20-140 microns.
