pressure of I j00 psi 1s suffic,ient to suppress coke.-form.ing reac-<br />

tions <strong>and</strong> the gasoline is former: mainly by the cracking of the<br />

diesel oil, there.by affe:cting the quantity <strong>and</strong> quality of the<br />

latter. The composit.inn of gasoline obtained at differlent temper-<br />

atures remains almost the same <strong>and</strong> the aromatics of the gasoline<br />

are mainly for-med by .the .dea:lkylat.ion of alky:Lb&nzenes, hydro- , .<br />

cracking of Iiydr.o..aromatics, ,<strong>and</strong> hydrore-moval of sulfur, oxygen,<br />

<strong>and</strong> nitrogen compounds.<br />

, The, gasoline .y'ie 16 increased at rliffere.nt rates <strong>with</strong> pr%ssure<br />

(Figure 3'). The rate qf gasoline formation was high in the pres-<br />

sure range 1000 to 1500 ps-I s:towing, tiown in the range 1500 to<br />

2500 psi, <strong>and</strong> ,increasing again at 1)ighe.r pressur~s. The residue<br />

decreased rapidly in the range 1030 to 1500 psi but, the dec,rease<br />

was.smal1 at higher pr6.ssure.s 00 the i.ther h<strong>and</strong>, the gas yield<br />

aiid iso-normal ratio in butanes reaained artmost constant up to a<br />

pressure of l5OO psi a,nd increased at h.igher pressures (Figure 4).<br />

Pressure doe.s riot Iiave a marked influence on cracking reactions in<br />

the range 1000 to 1500 psi but the. increase in the yield of gaso-<br />

line is due to the suppression of the coke.forming reactions. In<br />

the range 21700 to 2500 psi- partial hydrogenation of aromatics to<br />

hydro..aromat.ics takes place fo'L'1owc.d by the cracking of the latter<br />

which increases the yie Id of gasoliric' <strong>and</strong> the aromatic content<br />

(Figures 5 to 7). A t l?iglie:r pr~sslures complete hydr.ogenat.ion of<br />

aromatics to iiaphthe.nss tak.6.s place <strong>and</strong> increases the gasoline<br />

yield. The naphthews in the gasn'line increase <strong>with</strong> a correspond-<br />

sure antl temper a ture . ll.igh~ arc?ma t ic gasolines were obtained in the<br />

pressure range 1750 to 2500 psi (Table 111) A maximum yield of<br />

775 of gasoline was obtained at 500°C <strong>and</strong> 3000 psi pressure but<br />

the highest quality product containing 60% aromatics <strong>and</strong> 13% isoparaffins<br />

was formed at 450°C <strong>and</strong> 2000 psi pressure which can compare<br />

well <strong>with</strong> the premium grade gasohne from petroleum (Table IV).<br />
