1. A process for preparing a catalyst composition for cracking heavy hydrocarbon, comprising:
treating a high silica low soda medium pore zeolite with an ammoniacal solution to obtain a zeolite slurry having a pH between about 5 to about 9;
treating an alumina with a dilute acid to obtain an alumina binder;
preparing an acidic clay slurry with a source of phosphate;
combining the treated zeolite, the alumina binder, and the clay slurry, to obtain a slurry mixture; and
spray-drying and calcining the slurry mixture to obtain the catalyst.
