A METHOD FOR SEPARATING SILICA-BASED CRACKING CATALYST INTO FRACTIONS OF DIFFERING SURFACE AREA WHICH COMPRISES IMPREGNATING THE PARTICLES OF SAID CATALYST WITH A VOLATILE LIQUID, COATING SAID PARTICLES WITH A LIQUID MATERIAL COMPRISING A SOLVENT IMMISCIBLE WITH SAID VOLATILE LIQUID AND A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ORGANOHALOSILANES HAVING 1-3 HALOGEN SUBSTITUENTS AND 1-3 HYDROCARBON SUBSTITUTENTS EACH OF 1-18 CARBON ATOMS, AND PETROLEUM DISTILLATE-SOLUBLE SILICONE RESINS DERIVED THEREFROM, REMOVING SAID VOLATILE LIQUID AND SAID SOLVENT AND SUBJECTING THE MASS OF PARTICLES TOI AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF AN INORGANIC SALT, THE AMOUNT OF SAID SELECTED LIQUID OF AN INORGANIC SALT, THE AMOUNT OF SAID SELECTED LIQUID MATERIAL AND THE DENSITY OF SAID AQUEOUS SOLUTION BEING SUFFICIENT TO EFFECT FLOTATION OF A FIRST FRACTION OF SAID CATALYST, SAID FIRST FRACTION HAVING AN AVERAGE SURFACE AREA AT LEAST ABOUT 5 SQUARE METERS PER GRAM GREATER THAN THE AVERAGE SURFACE AREA OF THE SECOND, NON-FLOATING FRACTION.
