The present disclosure provides a process for preparing a hydrocarbon fuel from waste rubber. The process involves admixing, in a reaction vessel, at least one fluid medium with the waste rubber to obtain a slurry; wherein the concentration of the waste rubber in the slurry ranges from 45% to 70%. A reactor is charged with the slurry and a predetermined amount of at least one catalyst composition to obtain a mixture, followed by introduction of hydrogen to the reactor to attain a predetermined pressure and heating the mixture at a predetermined temperature, to attain an autogenously generated pressure, and for a predetermined time period to obtain a reaction mass comprising the hydrocarbon fuel. This reaction mass comprising the hydrocarbon fuel is then cooled to obtain a cooled reaction mass. The hydrocarbon fuel is then separated from the cooled reaction mass.

The invention relates to the field of petrochemistry and petroleum refining, and more-specifically to methods and devices for producing a concentrate of aromatic hydrocarbons from liquid hydrocarbon fractions, which involve feeding initial components into a mixer, heating said components, feeding same to a reactor in which the heated components are converted into aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of a catalyst, separating same into liquid and gas phases, feeding the gas phase into the mixer, and feeding the liquid phase into a rectification column, from which an aromatic hydrocarbon concentrate is collected, and can be used in petroleum refining and in petrochemistry for producing a concentrate aromatic hydrocarbons. According to the invention, methanol is additionally fed into the mixer. Hydrocarbon components which remain in the rectification column following collection are at least partially fed into the mixer. The liquid phase is additionally separated into liquid hydrocarbons and water, the liquid hydrocarbons are fed into the rectification column, and the water is removed. The composition of the liquid aromatic hydrocarbons, which are fed into the rectification column, is measured.

The Invention discloses a method for improving the quality of oil products and increasing the yield of low-carbon olefins by catalytic cracking of bio-oil, which takes bio-oil or mixed oil of bio-oil and hydrocarbon oil as raw oil for catalytic cracking reaction. With this method, the octane number of the gasoline in product is obviously increased, simultaneously, the content of propylene and other low-carbon olefins in product is also improved.

The present invention provides an integrated process for the preparation of olefins, which process comprises the steps of: (a) reacting an oxygenate and/or olefinic feed in a reactor to form an effluent which comprises olefins; (b) fractionating at least part of the effluent into two olefinic product fractions; (c) subjecting a hydrocarbon feedstock in a reactor to a steam cracking process to form an effluent which comprises olefins including butadiene; (d) combining at least part of the first olefinic product fraction as obtained in step (b) and at least part of the second effluent which comprises olefins as obtained in step (c) to form a combined olefinic product stream comprising at least ethylene, propylene and butadiene; and (e) separating at least part of the combined olefinic product stream as obtained in step (d) to form a fraction comprising ethylene and/or propylene and a fraction that comprises butadiene.

Methods are provided for improving the yield of aromatics during conversion of oxygenate feeds. An oxygenate feed can contain a mixture of oxygenate compounds, including one or more compounds with a hydrogen index of less than 2, so that an effective hydrogen index of the mixture of oxygenates is between about 1.4 and 1.9. Methods are also provided for converting a mixture of oxygenates with an effective hydrogen index greater than about 1 with a pyrolysis oil co-feed. The difficulties in co-processing a pyrolysis oil can be reduced or minimized by staging the introduction of pyrolysis oil into a reaction system. This can allow varying mixtures of pyrolysis oil and methanol, or another oxygenate feed, to be introduced into a reaction system at various feed entry points.
