Abstract
Processes for separating components from a reactor stream may comprise the steps of: separating a first vapor recovery stream and a liquid recovery stream from the reactor stream; forming a hydrogen stream, a heavier hydrocarbons fraction, alcohols fraction, and water fraction stream, and a carbon dioxide stream from the first vapor recovery stream; and forming an aqueous rich stream comprising about a 2:1 ratio or greater of smaller alcohols to larger alcohols and a hydrocarbon rich stream comprising about a 2:1 ratio or greater of larger alcohols to smaller alcohols from the liquids recovery stream.
