NOVELTY - Conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock into alcohols, where the hydrocarbons are first converted into syngas, which is subsequently converted into alcohols, comprises: converting a hydrocarbon feedstock into a stream (A); converting at least part of (A), in the presence of a catalyst into an alcohols stream (B); separating (B), into a stream (C), and recovering a stream (E); treating a fraction of (C) to separate the fraction into a stream; and reintroducing at least part of (C) together with the stream into oxygenate synthesis reactor, and stream (D) into a syngas reactor.    USE - The process is useful for the conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock into alcohols (claimed). The alcohol is useful as a fuel.    ADVANTAGE - The process: produces less waste, and thus provides higher carbon efficiency; is economic; and has reduced storage tanks, reduced methane production and no corrosion and metallurgy constraints due to the potential hydrolysis of the esters during subsequent purification and storage stages.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock into alcohols, where the hydrocarbons are first converted into syngas, which is subsequently converted into alcohols, comprises: converting a hydrocarbon feedstock, in a syngas reactor, into a stream (A), comprising essentially of a mixture of carbon oxides and hydrogen; converting at least part of stream (A), in the presence of a catalyst in a oxygenate synthesis reactor under a temperature of 150-400degrees C and a pressure of 20-200 bar, into an alcohols stream (B), comprising essentially methanol, ethanol, propanols, hydrogen molecule (H2), 1-3 carbons alkanes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water; separating the stream B, into a stream C containing the carbon monoxide, 1-3 carbon alkanes, hydrogen and methanol, stream (D) containing the carbon dioxide, and recovering a stream E containing the ethanol, propanols and water; treating a fraction of stream C in order to separate the fraction into a stream comprising carbon monoxide, and a stream comprising H2 and the 1-3 carbon alkanes; reintroducing at least part of stream (C) together with the stream comprising carbon monoxide from the step of treating a fraction of stream of (C) into the oxygenate synthesis reactor; and reintroducing at least part of stream (D) into the syngas reactor.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows the schematic representation of a process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock into alcohols.
