Abstract
An integrated process for converting C.sub.4 /C.sub.5 hydrocarbons contained in a gasoline feedstock to more valuable motor fuel components includes various distillation steps, a hydroisomerization step, an etherification step (for producing t-amyl methyl ether), and an alkylation step. In a preferred embodiment, this process additionally includes a dehydrogenation step and a step of using formed debydrogenated hydrocarbons in the etherification step.
