ABSTRACT:
A process combination wherein (1) in a first stage wet methanol, or methanol and water, are reacted over a copper-containing methanol synthesis catalyst at conditions sufficient to convert at least a portion of the feed to essentially hydrogen and carbon dioxide and, (2) in a second stage, the product stream from said first stage and methanol are reacted over a cobalt or ruthenium catalyst, or cobalt-containing or ruthenium-containing catalyst, to produce, at reaction conditions, an admixture of C.sub.10.sup.+ linear paraffin and olefins, which can be further refined and upgraded to high quality middle distillate fuels, and other valuable products such as mogas, diesel fuel, jet fuel, lubes, and specialty solvents, especially premium middle distillate fuels of carbon number ranging from about C.sub.10 to C.sub.20.
