A METHOD WHICH COMRPISES MIXING AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF AN ALKALI METAL SILICATE WITH AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A ZIRCONIUM SALT AND AN ALUMINUM SALT, SAID MIXING BEING CARRIED OUT WITH SUCH PROPORTIONS OF SAID SOLUTIONS AS TO RESULT IN A HYDROSOL HAVING A PH OF FROM 7 TO 10 AND TO SUBSTANTIALLY SET TO A HYDROGEL CONTAINING FROM 5 TO 15 PERCENT ZRO2, FROM 5 TO 10 PERCENT AL2O3, AND FROM 75 TO 90 PERCENT SIO2 BASED ON CO-GELLED OXIDES ONLY, PERMITTING SAID HYDROSOL TO SET TO A HYDROGEL, ACTIVATING SAID HYDROGEL BY TREATMENT FOR FROM 1 TO 24 HOURS AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 125 TO 200*F. WITH AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION HAVING AS THE SOLUTE THEREFOR A COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A MINERAL ACID, AN ALUMINUM SALT, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, SAID SOLUTION HAVING A PH OF FROM ZERO TO 7, WASHING SAID HYDROGEL FREE OF WATERSOLUBLE MATERIAL, DRYING AND CALCINING TO THEREBY OBTAIN A SOLID, POROUS CATALYST OF SILICA-ZIRCONIA-ALUMINA, AND THEREAFTER CONTACTING SAID CATALYST WITH A HYDROCARBON CHARGE UNDER CATALYTIC CRACKING CONDITIONS TO THEREBY OBTAIN AN IMPROVED GASOLINE YIELD THEREFROM.
