Abstract

A process is disclosed for separating ethylene in admixture with light olefins by contacting said olefinic mixture under very critical reaction conditions over a special catalyst, such as a zeolite of the ZSM-5 type so as to selectively react the C.sub.3 and higher olefins and convert the same to both gasoline and fuel oil.
