Abstract
Process for manufacturing a constituent for motor car gasoline from a synthesis gas containing essentially carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, comprising producing methanol and its higher homologs by treatment of said synthesis gas in a first catalytic reaction zone at 230.degree.-350.degree. C., cooling and condensing the effluent therefrom, separating from the liquid condensate a gas fraction, treating the latter at 240.degree.-300.degree. C. in a second catalytic reaction zone to produce a liquid methanol fraction and admixing said methanol fraction with said liquid condensate to form said gasoline constituent.
