57. ------. [ATWELL, H. V.] (Process Management Co.). Motor Fuel From Reaction Products of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. United States Patent 2,258,839. Oct. 14, 1941: appl. Filed Oct. 30, 1937. Serial No. 171,919; 4 claims (Cl. 196-9). Chem. Abs., vol. 36, 1942. p. 640.

Describes arrangement of apparatus and a method for converting the normally liquid and normally gaseous hydrocarbon products of the reaction of CO and H₂, which comprises separating from the reaction products of the reaction products and a fraction predominating in normally liquid constituents and including at most a minor proportion of hydrocarbons boiling above the gasoline boiling range; admixing with this fraction a substantial proportion of normally gaseous hydrocarbons from a source set forth below: subjecting the resulting mixture to elevated temperature and pressure to convert normally liquid and normally gaseous constituents thereof to gasoline of high antiknock value, separating from the resulting conversion products gasoline constituents and a normally gaseous fraction predominating in C₃and C₄hydrocarbons, controlling the separation of the conversion products to include in such normally gaseous fraction a substantial proportion of the relatively low boiling normally liquid constituents of the conversion products; and admixing at least a portion of the gaseous fraction with the 1^st mentioned fraction, as described.
