A process is described for the valorization of a charge of hydrocarbons
and for reducing the vapour pressure of said charge, comprising three
steps: a step a) consisting of separating said charge of hydrocarbons
into a fraction (O1) comprising essentially compounds containing 5 carbon
atoms, including at least 2% by weight of pentenes, a step b) consisting
of placing said fraction (O1) in contact with a cut of hydrocarbons (O2)
at least partly comprising hydrocarbons having a number of carbon atoms
between 6 and 10, including at least 2% by weight of olefins, and a step
c) consisting of separating the effluents originating from step b) into a
gasoline cut (.alpha.) the upper distillation point of which is less than
100.degree. C. and a kerosene cut (.beta.) having a distillation range
between 100.degree. C. and 300.degree. C.
