Low-octane C. sub. 5 -C. sub. 6 gasoline pool mixtures or components are upgraded into improved-octane gasoline blendstock by (1) catalytically converting a minor yet significant portion of the C. sub. 6 -fraction into a relatively high-octane stock using a unique crystalline aluminosilica zeolite catalyst, (2) isomerizing the C. sub. 5 -fraction plus the remainder of the C. sub. 6 -fraction, and (3) blending the converted C. sub. 6 -portion with the C. sub. 5 -C. sub. 6 isomerizate.

A process is disclosed for upgrading a hydrodesulfurized hydrocarbonaceous oil by extracting residual nitrogen-containing impurities from a sulfur-reduced oil. A furfural solution containing a minor amount of ferric chloride is contacted with the oil under liquid-liquid extracting conditions, including a 0 to 50. degree. C. temperature and an 0. 1-5 solution-to-oil volume ratio.

The research octane of a light paraffinic hydrocarbon feed is effectively increased by consecutively contacting the feed under hydrocarbon conversion conditions with a palladium-HY-zeolite-alumina catalyst and then with a palladium-HZSM-5-zeolite-alumina catalyst.

A process is disclosed for upgrading a hydrogenated distillate oil by extracting nitrogen compounds from the oil. In the process, these compounds are selectively extracted from the oil in a liquid-liquid extraction using as the extracting medium a solution of ferric chloride in furfural. Following intimate contacting of the oil with the extracting solution, the resulting mixture is separated into an oily raffinate phase and a solvent-extract phase. The raffinate oil is especially suitable as a feedstock for a catalytic cracking or hydroprocessing stage employing an acidic catalyst. The extraction is carried out under moderate conditions of temperature and pressure.

A process is disclosed for denitrification of a hydrogenated oil, which is particularly applicable to coal-derived oils. The oil is first coked to yield a solid coke product and a coker oil having a reduced nitrogenous compound content. The coker oil nitrogen compounds are then selectively removed from the oil by liquid-liquid extraction using a solution of ferric chloride in furfural as the extracting medium. The extraction is carried out under moderate conditions of temperature and pressure.

An improved hydrocarbon hydrocracking process is disclosed wherein residual nitrogen-containing and/or polycyclic hydrocarbon impurities are extracted from bottoms of the resulting hydrocrackate by contacting the bottoms under liquid-liquid extracting conditions with a furfural solution of ferric chloride.
