Abstract
Abstract Liquefied petroleum gas, herein referred to as ''''LPG,'''' is produced from heavy hydrocarbon distillates through the utilization of a two-stage hydrocracking process. The product effluent from the first stage is separated to provide a vaporous gasoline boiling range fraction which is utilized as the charge stock to the second stage.
