ABSTRACT:
A solvent extract obtained from a conventional hydrocarbon oil solvent extraction process, e.g., one employing furfural as the extraction solvent, is cooled to a temperature providing, following a secondary decantation of the cooled extract, a pseudo raffinate containing most of the non-aromatics and a pseudo extract possessing a hydro-aromatic content of H.sub.alpha hydrogen of at least 20 percent of the total hydrogen content. The pseudo extract is ideally suited as a hydrogen-donor for a variety of refinery operations such as visbreaking. The pseudo raffinate is suitable as a co-feed for such catalytic cracking operations as fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) and thermofor catalytic cracking (TCC) and can be recycled to the extraction unit to produce more lube oil.
