Abstract
Upgrading of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product is obtained by separating a 560.degree. F minus hydrocarbon fraction from gaseous C.sub.5 rich material and a water phase comprising oxygenates. Alcohols may be recovered from the water phase for conversion to gasoline boiling components. C.sub.5 rich material is converted to gasoline boiling material with a ZSM-5 crystalline zeolite and upgrading of the 560.degree. F minus hydrocarbon fraction is accomplished with a ZSM-5 crystalline zeolite catalyst.
