ABSTRACT:

     Amoco Oil Company is investigating a selective catalytic cracking process to convert the Fischer-Tropsch gasoline and wax fractions to high value transportation fuels. The primary wax feedstock for this program is a commercial sample of Fischer-Tropsch product from Sasol. A second feedstock being used is a high melting point paraffinic wax that was produced by the Liquid Phase F-T demonstration plant at LaPorte, Texas, and is contaminated with about 2.5% of finely dispersed iron F-T catalyst.  Research octane numbers (RON) and Motor octane numbers (MON) were determined in engine tests using 10% blends of the mixed ether products (previously prepared under Task 5) with unleaded regular gasoline.
