Egloff, G

A process for recovering hydrocarbon liquids of motor fuel like character from hydrocarbon containing solids and liquids includes mixing with a relatively heavy hydrocarbon liquid suitable proportions of a finely comminuted hydrocarbon containing solid to form a free flowing fluid mixture. The resultant mixture is then subjected to a cracking temperature while flowing in a stream through a heating zone, and the heated mixture is discharged into an elongated rotary coking zone. Hydrogen is introduced to the mixture in the coking zone, while the mixture in the presence of the hydrogen is maintained at a conversion temperature for the requisite time period to complete conversion. After conversion the mixture is distilled to coke in the coking zone. Vapors evolved from the mixture are subjected to reflux condensation, and the resulting reflux is returned for further treatment to the heating zone. The vapors escaping reflux condensation are condensed, and the resulting distillate is collected.
