Hydrocracking catalysts containing rare earth containing post-modified usy zeolite, method for preparing hydrocracking catalysts, and method for hydrocracking hydrocarbon oil with hydrocracking catalysts

A method of making a catalyst composition, the method comprising:

• heating an ultra-stable Y-type (USY) zeolite in an oven having a temperature from 500° C. to 700° C.;
• mixing a zirconium compound and a titanium compound with the ultra-stable Y-type (USY) zeolite to produce a framework-substituted USY zeolite;
• and
• incorporating a doped rare earth element into the framework-substituted USY zeolite.

A method for hydrocracking hydrocarbon oil, comprising:

• contacting at least one hydrocarbon oil stream with at least one hydrocracking catalyst composition and hydrogen in a reactor in order to hydrocrack the hydrocarbon oil stream, the hydrocracking catalyst composition comprising:
• a catalyst support comprising at least one framework-substituted ultra-stable Y-type (USY) zeolite substituted with zirconium atoms and titanium atoms, the at least one framework-substituted USY zeolite comprising at least one doped rare earth element;
• and
• at least one hydrogenative component disposed on the catalyst support.
