Abstract
Abstract In the conversion of lower aliphatic alcohols, carbonyls, ethers or analogues thereof to higher hydrocarbons by contacting such with a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a constraint index of about 1 to 12 at up to about 850*F, the improvement, whereby increasing the liquid, C5 , yield, engendered by using such catalyst having a silica to alumina ratio of about 60 to 600.
