Disclosed is a catalytic cracking process for producing isobutane and/or light aromatics in high yield, comprising the steps of: a) providing a catalytic cracking feedstock oil having a polycyclic naphthene content of greater than about 25 wt %; b) subjecting the catalytic cracking feedstock oil to a first catalytic cracking reaction and a second catalytic cracking reaction sequentially under different reaction conditions to obtain a catalytic cracking product; c) separating the resulting catalytic cracking product to obtain a liquefied gas fraction comprising isobutane and a gasoline fraction comprising light aromatics; and d) optionally, recovering isobutane from the liquefied gas fraction and/or recovering light aromatics from the gasoline fraction. The process can enable the production of isobutane and/or light aromatics in high yield.

A method for catalytic cracking of naphtha is provided. Naphtha is catalytically cracked under the action of a catalyst. The catalyst includes aluminosilicate, alkali metal oxide, alkaline earth metal oxide, TiO.sub.2, iron oxide, vanadium oxide and nickel oxide. On the other hand, a rapid separation component is arranged in a disengager of a catalytic cracking reaction device, so that a transport disengaging height is greatly reduced without changing a gas flow and a diameter of the disengager. In addition, the separation efficiency of oil gas and the catalyst is improved.

A slurry separator comprising a moving blade that wipes slurry oil onto a wall of the slurry separator for separating a recovered oil stream from a concentrated residue stream has the capability of maximizing recovery of the LCO from slurry oil as well as removing both the catalyst fines as well as coke particles suspended in the slurry oil. The slurry separator can be fed directly from the main column bottoms. Advantageously, the process and apparatus can enable the FCC unit to achieve higher production of LCO and higher value clarified slurry oil more efficiently.

An integrated process and apparatus for conversion of gas oil and heavy oil is described. The process includes passing a gas oil feed to a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) zone to obtain a FCC effluent; separating the FCC effluent in a separation zone into at least two fractions comprising a clarified slurry oil fraction and an overhead fraction; passing the clarified slurry oil fraction to a slurry hydrocracking zone forming at least a naphtha stream; and recycling at least a portion of the slurry hydrocracking naphtha stream to the FCC zone.
