Zusammenfassung:A Fischer-Tropsch reaction to form alcohols from hydrogen and carbon monoxide, using a catalyst containing: (1) at least one element selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium and mixtures thereof in free or combined form; (2) a promoter comprising an alkali or alkaline earth element in free or combined form; and optionally (3) a support; forms an alcohol fraction boiling in the range of motor gasoline in at least about 20 percent CO2 free carbon selectivity. The so-formed alcohol fraction is useful as an additive for motor gasoline.
