<p>A process is described for the production of fuel components for motor vehicles by the alkylation, with one or more alcohols, of a mixture containing benzene, and the separation of a product which boils within the gasoline boiling range, wherein the alkylation and separation take place in two different steps. The process is carried out in the presence of a zeolite belonging to the BEA family. At the end of the process, a substantial amount of benzene is no longer present in the final mixture, due to the alkylation of said substrate with the alcohol or alcohols used. The process also allows a product which boils within the diesel boiling range to be obtained. A particularly preferred aspect is to use alcohols deriving from raw materials of an agricultural or vegetable origin.</p> |
