Abstract
Light olefin is introduced at multiple points of entry into a conversion unit subdivided into first and second reaction zones. Reaction of olefin with water takes place in the first reaction zone under conditions intended to promote the production of alcohol therein and in the second reaction zone, alcohol produced in the first reaction zone is both dehydrated and reacted with olefin under conditions intended to promote the production of ether therein. The same or different shape selective acidic zeolites are employed as catalysts in both reaction zones.
