Conversion of lower alcohols alone or together with ether derivatives thereof to hydrocarbons comprising gasoline.

摘要

A method for catalytically converting methanol to gasoline in a dense fluid bed (1), which utilizes perforated, vertically spaced apart grid means (7) in confunction with vertically extending heat exchange coils (5). The catalyst, a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, e.g. ZSM-5, is passed to a regeneration zone (37).
