Abstract
Catalysts that include a first zeolite selected from ZSM-5 and Y zeolite impregnated with P2O5 and a second zeolite different from the first zeolite selected from ZSM-5 and Y zeolite impregnated with La2O3. The catalysts can also include alumina, clay, and silica. The catalysts can be used to crack vacuum gas oil (VGO) into gasoline and butylenes. The catalysts can crack VGO with relatively good selectivity for butylenes over butanes.
