Abstract
Abstract A hydrocarbonaceous black oil is subjected to HF extraction for the separation of hetero compounds and highly condensed aromatics from a less soluble raffinate. The extract phase, after separation of the raffinate, but containing HF, is subjected to cracking conditions, and preferably in the presence of a hydrogen donor. The effluent is separated to recover the HF which is recycled to the extraction zone.
