Abstract

<PICT:1116479/C4-C5/1> To improve the thermal stability of a petroleum feedstock produced by catalytic cracking and thereby enable the nuclear reactor in which the feedstock is used as a coolant to operate at a substantially higher temperature, the feedstock is subjected to a non-catalytic hydrodealkylation process to produce a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons. Preferably, the mixture is fractionated to obtain a product having a boiling range from 650 DEG to 1200 DEG F. As shown, the hydrocarbon feedstock is fed by a line 10 to a furnace 14 and hydrogen is supplied by a line 12, the heated mixture being passed into the hydrodealkylation reactor 18. The product from the reactor 18 passes through a cooler 22 to a fractionating tower 24, a product stream comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons being passed from the tower through a line 26 to the nuclear reactor 32 when it serves as the reactor coolant. The heated coolant heats wet steam in a heat exchanger 36 and then passes to a tower 54 where gaseous decomposition products are removed, the coolant then returning through a line 58 to the reactor. The Specification gives specific details of the composition and properties of both the initial feedstock and the hydrodealkylated product.
