Abstract
Abstract lcohols, especially methanol, are converted into light olefins rich in ethylene and C 5 + hydrocarbon products. After separation of ethylene, propylene and butenes may be converted into olefinic gasoline and olefinic distillate. The distillate product may be treated with hydrogen to produce a high quality diesel and/or jet fuel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for converting reactants comprising lower alcohols and related oxygenates into C 5 + and lower boiling hydrocarbon compounds including light olefins and gasoline boiling components, which comprises passing a suspension of vaporized reactant material and fluid catalyst particles comprising a crystalline zeolite upwardly through a dispersed catalyst contact and reaction zone at an elevated temperature and pressure to achieve at least 40% but less than 90% conversion of the alcohol in the feed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for converting reactants comprising lower alcohols and related oxygenates into C 5 + and lower boiling hydrocarbon compounds including light olefins and gasoline boiling components, which comprises passing a suspension of vaporized reactant material and fluid catalyst particles comprising a crystalline zeolite upwardly through a dispersed catalyst contact and reaction zone at an elevated temperature and pressure to achieve at least 40% but less than 90% conversion of the alcohol in the feed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process in accordance with Claim 1, wherein the temperature is from 260° to 510°C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
