1066. ------. [HOCKBERGER, W. G.] (Standard Oil Development Co.). Hydrocarbon Synthesis. United States Patent 2,545,954, Mar. 20, 1951; appl. filed June 11, 1947, Serial No. 754,029; 5 claims (Cl. 260-450). Chem. Abs., vol. 45, 1951, p. 4912.

Total oil including gasoline and gas oil range hydrocarbons produced from CO and H₂ is treated with bauxite at conditions of temperature, pressure, and throughput that cause cracking of the gas-oil constituents. The temperature is 800º-1,000º F., pressure 1-10 atm. absolute, and throughput 0.5-2 vol. liquid feed per vol. bauxite. The bauxite is regenerated wither continuously or at intervals considerable more frequent than in conventional bauxite reforming of gasoline-range hydrocarbons. Steam added to the feed will prevent excessive C deposition on the bauxite. Steam concentrations of 20-70 mol. % are suitable. 1 foreign and 2 United States patents cited.
