Conversion of hydrocarbon oil

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7299535
A process for producing high antiknock motor fuel, gas and devolatilized coke from hydrocarbon liquids and carbonaceous solids is described. The process comprises charging an enlarged reaction zone with carbonaceous solids, heating a hydrocarbon oil to a relatively high cracking temperature and introducing the oil to the reaction zone passing through the bed of carbonaceous material. Vapors from the reaction zone are taken off and subjected to reflux condensation to separate intermediate fractions. The vapors escaping reflux condensation are subjected to final condensation. A portion of the gasoline distillate is heated separately to conversion temperature and introduced into contact with the material in the reaction zone simultaneously with the introduction oil to facilitate the devolatilization of the solid carbonaceous material.
