Definitions

  • This invention relates to the recovery and purification of benzene from crude coke oven or coal tar light oils.
  • While the invention has been disclosed principally in relation to the recovery of purified benzene from coal tar light oil, the invention is also useful for the treatment of other types of charge stocks containing benzene such as relatively high boiling catalytic reformate fractions.
  • a catalytic reformate boiling in the 300- 400 F. range containing 80-85% alkyl substituted benzenes and 15-20% parattins may be used as the charge stock in the practice of the present invention to produce a hikh yield of benzene, thereby up-grading the commercial value of the reformate.
  • the process of recovering benzene of at least nitration grade purity from an impure hydrocarbon stock containing benzene and alkyl benzene components which '6 process comprises subjecting the said stock, in a single pass, to catalytic cracking conditions in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst consisting of approximately to by weight of chromium oxide on a high purity 5 low sodium content gamma-type alumina support, at a temperature above approximately 1200 F. whereby a 7 high yield of benzene is obtained.
