Dual reactor system for simultaneous decontamination and cracking of plastic derived oil to circular chemicals

A process for upgrading plastic derived oil includes contacting the plastic derived oil with a mixed catalyst in a first reactor, where the mixed catalyst includes a decontamination catalyst and a cracking catalyst different from the decontamination catalyst. The first reactor reduces concentrations of halogen-containing compounds in the plastic derived oil. The process includes passing the first reactor effluent to a second reactor and contacting the first reactor effluent with the cracking catalyst to produce a second effluent comprising light olefins and naphtha range hydrocarbons. The process includes separating used mixed catalyst from the first reactor to produce a used decontamination catalyst and a second used cracking catalyst, and regenerating the decontamination catalyst and cracking catalyst in separate regenerators to reduce exposure of the cracking catalyst to halogen-containing compounds produced during regeneration of the used decontamination catalyst.
