Abstract:
1. A process for converting synthesis gas feedstock comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide at a molar ratio between about 1.5:1 and about 2.5:1 to predominately hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline range, the process comprising: contacting the synthesis gas feedstock with a catalyst system comprising GaZSM-5 catalyst and a methanol catalyst at a temperature between about 330° C. and about 370° C. and a pressure between about 20 atm and about 100 atm for a time sufficient to produce hydrocarbons; wherein the hydrocarbons produced contain less than about 10% by volume aromatic hydrocarbons and at least about 75% by volume C
