Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR UP-GRADING A PLURALITY OF HYDROCARBON MIXTURES INTO A HIGH PURITY CYCLOHEXANE, VALUABLE AROMATICS AND GASOLINE COMPONENTS WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF: (A) IN A FIRST REFORMING ZONE (3), REFORMING A FEED (1) COMPRISING A HIGH END POINT NAPHTHA REFORMING FEED CONTAINING PARAFFINS, NAPHTHENES AND AROMATICS; (B) SEPARATING (35) ANOTHER (2) COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE OF AN IMPURE CYCLOHEXANE CONTAINING STREAM AND A LOW END BOILING POINT STRAIGHT-RUN GASOLINE, HAVING AN APPROXIMATE END BOILING POINT OF ABOUT 300*F., INTO A METHYLCYCLOPENTANCE-AND-HIGHER STREAM (21) AND A RESIDUE STREAM CONTAINING PARAFFINS, NAPHTHENES AND AROMATICS (36); (C) REFORMING (37) THE RESIDUE STREAM OBTAINED IN STEP "B"; (D) ADMIXING THE REFORMATES OF STEPS "A" AND "C" (4) (E) SEPARATING 5,9) THE ADMIXED REFORMATES OF STEP "D" INTO A HYDROGEN CONTAINING PRODUCT STREAM (L), A C5-AND-LIGHTER PRODUCT STREAM (7), A C7-AND HEAVIER GASOLINE PRODUCT (10) AND A C6-CONTAINING STREAM (11); (F) SEPARATING BY SOLVENT EXTRACTION (12) THE C6-CONTAINING STREAM OF STEP "E" INTO A BENZENE AND TOLUENE CONTAINING EXTRACT PRODUCT STREAM (13) AND A PARAFFIN-AND NAPHTHENE-CONTAINING RAFFINATE STREAM (17); (G) SEPARATING (18) THE RAFFINATE STREAM OF STEP "F" INTO A METHYLCYCLOPENTANE-AND-LIGHTER CONTAINING STREAM (20) AND A GASOLINE PRODUCT STREAM (19);
