Some significant data are given about the 5058 chamber, the 6434 chamber, the refining of gasoline, and the gasoline variety VT702. The 5058 chamber used a loading of 0.8 to 1.0 kg/l/hr, temperature of 19 to 22 mV, and starting material of lignite A-middle oils, with density (D/sub 4//sup 20/) being 0.910, aniline point +15/sup 0/C, distillation beginning 70/sup 0/C and ending 325/sup 0/C, phenol content 10 percent, and hydrogen content 10.0 to 10.5 percent. The resulting product from the separator had density 0.8000 to 0.805, distillation cutoff 120/sup 0/ for gasoline (20 to 25 percent distilling up to that point), aniline point 55/sup 0/, and phenol content less than 0.5 percent by weight. The 6434 chamber used a loading of 0.8 kg/l/hr, temperature of 20 to 24 mV, and starting material consisting of a 1:1 mixture of 5058 and 6434 B-middle oils, with density 0.800, aniline point 50 to 55/sup 0/C, distillation beginning 120/sup 0/C and ending 320/sup 0/C, phenol content 0.3 to 0.4 percent (due to added H/sub 2/S). In producing aviation gasoline, the yield was about 78 percent of the A-product, whereas in producing auto gasoline, it was about 90 percent. The product from the separator had density 0.750 to 0.760, distillation cutoff 140/sup 0/C for gasoline (45 percent distilling up to that point), aniline point 50 to 55/sup 0/C, and phenol content 0.02 percent (which was maintained at that level for inhibitor effect). The gasoline VT702 had density 0.720, aniline point 50 to 52/sup 0/C, and octane numbers of 71 to 72 before and 90.5 to 91.5 after addition of 1.2 tetraethyl-lead. It contained 5 to 7 percent aromatics, 2 to 3 percent olefins, 40 percent naphthenes, and 50 to 53 percent paraffin. The distillation cutoff was 140 to 145/sup 0/C, and 65 percent of the product distilled up to 100/sup 0/C. The sulfur content was less than 0.001 percent.
