A hybrid catalyst for simultaneous dehalogenation and cracking of plastic derived oil includes a plurality of composite particles, where each of the composite particles includes red mud particles and USY zeolite particles. A process for upgrading plastic derived oil includes contacting the plastic derived oil with the hybrid catalyst in an FCC reactor to produce an FCC effluent and a used hybrid catalyst. The plastic derived oil comprises halogen-containing compounds, and the contacting at reaction conditions causes halogen-containing compounds to react to form hydrocarbons and hydrogen halides, which are adsorbed onto surfaces of the red mud particles. The contacting at reaction conditions also causes hydrocarbons in the plastic derived oil to undergo cracking reactions to produce the FCC effluent. The FCC effluent may have a reduced concentration of the halogen-containing compounds. A system that includes the hybrid catalyst is also disclosed.
