FIELD: petrochemical processes. SUBSTANCE: starting feedstock containing olefins and saturated hydrocarbons is brought into contact with linear polyaromatic compound under conditions suitable to form reaction mixture containing adducts of linear polyaromatic compound with olefin and saturated hydrocarbons. Adducts are separated to form saturated hydrocarbon stream and olefin adduct stream. Adducts are further dissociated to give linear polyaromatic compounds and olefin composition, after which linear polyaromatic compounds are possibly isolated. EFFECT: enhanced process efficiency. 8 cl, 2 tbl, 2 ex
