The authors present results obtained in experiments on the catalytic cracking of heavy coker gas oil on a zeolitic catalyst, using as the catcracker feed either the original coker gas oil or this gas oil after dearomatization by furfural extraction. They conclude from an examination of their data that with the dearomatized feed the yield of butanebutylene cut is 20% higher, the yield of dry gas is lower by a factor of 1.6, and the yield of coke by a factor of 1.2. The characteristics of the naptha obtained by cracking original and dearomatized feeds indicate that the naptha obtained from cracking original gasoil contains 36% aromatics by weight, 10% more than that derived from the dearomatized feed.
