Abstract:
1. A method of producing aromatics and olefins from an oil fraction comprising aromatic compounds, comprising: a) hydroprocessing the oil fraction comprising aromatic compounds in the presence of a hydroprocessing catalyst to partially saturate aromatic components having two or more aromatic rings into aromatic components having one aromatic ring, such that an amount of aromatic components having one aromatic ring in the oil fraction is increased; b) catalytic catalytically cracking the hydroprocessed oil fraction from step (a) in the presence of a cracking catalyst; c) separating the cracked hydroprocessed oil fraction from step (b) into d) introducing the (c)(i) into a transalkylation step in the presence of a transalkylation catalyst to produce a transalkylated product, e) separating the (c)(ii) to recover a stream comprising at least a portion of C f) recirculating the (c)(iii) to step (a) or step (b).
