Process for treating synthesis product

Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR TREATING A PRODUCT CONTAINING WATER, HYDROCARBONS AND OXYGEN-CONTAINING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS COMPRISING ALCOHOLS, ESTERS, ACIDS, ALDEHDES AND KETONES AND WHICH IS OBTAINED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN INTO SYNTHETIC FUEL WHICH COMPRISES SEPARATING THE SYNTHESIS PRODUCT OBTAINED BY CATALYTIC CONVERSIONM OF SYNTHESIS GAS INTO A GAS PHASE AND A LIQUID PHASE COMPRISING OIL AND WATER PHASES, CONTACTING SAID ENTIRE LIQUID PHASE IN THE VAPOR STATE AT A TEMPERATURE OF 500 TO 1,000* F. WITH A SOLID BASIC MATERIAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKALI METAL COMPOUNDS, ALKALINE EARTH COMPOUNDS AND MIXTURES THEREOF WHEREBY ESTERS ARE HYDROLYZED TO ALCOHOLS AND ACIDS AND ACIDS ARE DECARBOXYLATED TO HYDROCARBONS AND KETONES, COOLING SAID BASE-TREATED LIQUID PHASE, SEPARATING SAID BASE-TREATED LIQUID PHASE INTO AN OIL FRACTION AND A WATER FRACTION, VAPORIZING SAID OIL FRACTION CONTAINING OXYGENATES MAINLY IN THE FORM OF ALCOHOLS AND KETONES, CONTACTING SAID OIL FRACTION WITH A PARTICULATE ADSORBENT AT A TEMPERATURE OF 400 TO 700* F. WHEREBY SAID OXYGEN-CONTAINING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, MAINLY ALCOHOLS AND KETONES, ARE ADSORBED ON SAID ADSORBENT, SEPARATING SAID ADSORBENT CONTAINING OXYGEN-CONTAINING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ABSORBED THEREON FROM SAID VAPORIZED OIL FRACTION AND RECOVERING OXYGEN-CONTAINING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS COMPRISING MAINLY ALCOHOLS AND KETONS FROM SAID SEPARATED ADSORBENT.
