Processes and apparatuses are disclosed for treating a naphtha stream from a FCC unit comprising passing the naphtha stream to a naphtha splitter column to provide a light naphtha stream and a heavy naphtha stream. The light naphtha stream is reacted in a mercaptan oxidation reactor to provide a demercaptanized naphtha stream. The demercaptanized naphtha stream is stripped in a light stripper column to provide a treated light naphtha stream and a bottoms stream.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for reforming and isomerizing hydrocarbons. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a novel combination of two traditionally separate reforming and isomerization reaction zones. A first hydrocarbon stream comprising C.sub.5-C.sub.6 hydrocarbons is isomerized in a first isomerization zone. A second hydrocarbon stream comprising C.sub.7+ hydrocarbons is reformed thus producing a C.sub.7 hydrocarbon stream and a C.sub.8 hydrocarbon stream. The reformed C.sub.7 stream is then isomerized in a second isomerization zone.

The present invention provides catalyst comprising metal modified zeolite, particularly Group IIIA or Group IIB metal modified zeolite, or a Group IIIA metal and Group IIB metal modified zeolite for reforming of heart cut naphtha stream. The present disclosure also relates to a process for synthesis of the catalyst. The present disclosure further relates to a process for reforming of heart cut naphtha stream, with high selectivity towards aromatics and good activity using the catalytic system, in the absence of hydrogen.
