ABSTRACT:
High-purity C.sub.7 and/or C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbons are produced by reforming a C.sub.7 or C.sub.8 full boiling carbon number naphtha feed fraction or combinations thereof under reforming conditions of sufficient severity to convert essentially all of the non-aromatic portion of the naphtha feed boiling in the C.sub.7 to C.sub.8 aromatic boiling range to C.sub.7 and/or C.sub.8 aromatics, and then separating the reformate by fractional distillation into high-purity fractions of C.sub.7 and/or C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbons. Preferably, the C.sub.7 and/or C.sub.8 full boiling carbon number naphtha feed fraction is reformed in a plurality of reformer reaction stages with increasingly more severe conditions in order to maximize the yield of the C.sub.7 and C.sub.8 aromatics.
