Patent ID: 6982355

Claim:
An integrated process to make high value linear alcohols, branched alcohols and linear olefins from synthesis gas wherein: a) separating a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product into HFTL and LFTL fractions; b) contacting the LFTL fraction with a dehydration catalyst to produce a dehydrated LFTL fraction comprising olefins and paraffins; c) separating the dehydrated LFTL fraction into at least C 5 –C 9 and C 10 –C 13 olefin/paraffin fractions; and d) contacting the C 5 –C 9 and C 10 –C 13 olefin/paraffin fractions with synthesis gas to form C 5 –C 9 and C 10 –C 13 aldehyde/paraffin fractions.
