How to send email to queue in Magento 1.9?

I need to send the emails to the queue “table core_email_queue”.
But my code doesnt work.
I dont know why

$emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
$emailTemplate->load(Mage::getStoreConfig('emailreminder/general/emailreminder_template'));
$emailTemplateVariables = [];
$emailTemplate->setSenderName($email);
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail($email);

$emailQueue = Mage::getModel('core/email_queue');
$emailTemplate->setQueue($emailQueue)->send($email, $email, $emailTemplateVariables);
