A system for processing plastic waste may include a feed line, a feed fractionator, a hydrotreater, a catalytic reforming unit, a heavy oil cracker, and a steam cracker. A pyrolyzed plastics feed is separated into light, medium, and heavy hydrocarbon streams. The hydrotreater removes sulfur, and the catalytic reforming unit produces a circular aromatic-rich stream. The heavy oil cracker generates cracked streams. The steam cracker produces a circular olefin stream from a cracked stream. A system for processing plastic waste may include the feed line, the feed fractionator, the hydrotreater, a medium hydrocarbon fractionator, the catalytic reforming unit, a full-range reforming unit, the heavy oil cracker, and the steam cracker. The medium hydrocarbon fractionator produces two hydrocarbon streams. The full-range naphtha reforming unit produces a second circular aromatic-rich stream.

The present invention provides an adsorbent and a method for desulfurization of gasoline. The adsorbent is obtained by loading active metal component on a composite carrier comprising zeolite and active carbon subjected to alkali treatment respectively, the active metal is selected from one or more elements of IA, IIA, VIII, IB, IIB and VIB groups in the periodic table. This method uses the adsorbent to conduct gasoline adsorption desulfurization, which especially cuts the gasoline into a light and a heavy gasoline fraction firstly, then the light fraction is subjected to adsorption desulfurization using the adsorbent, and the heavy fraction is subjected to selective hydrodesulfurization, a cutting temperature of the light and the heavy gasoline fraction is 70-110 C. The adsorbent has a large sulfur adsorption, a long service life, and simply to be regenerated; the method can realize deep desulfurization of gasoline, and has a less octane number loss.

An oxidative treatment process, e.g., oxidative desulfurization or denitrification, is provided in which the oxidant is produced in-situ using an aromatic-rich portion of the original liquid hydrocarbon feedstock. The process reduces or replaces the need for the separate introduction of liquid oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxide and organic hydroperoxide in an oxidative treatment process.
