Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis in Slurry-Reactor Systems. Quarterly Report, August 1, 1981-October 31, 1981

摘要

A large quantity of data were obtained with the fused iron catalyst under intrinsic kinetic conditions, covering for the first time 50 and 200 psi. These data are being analyzed for information about overall rates and product selectivity. Preliminary conclusions about a rate model are presented. Study of the effects of suspended solids on gas-liquid mass transfer was started. Most previous information is on aqueous systems, which is not readily translatable into predicted effects in organic liquids such as Fischer-Tropsch liquids. The most promising and useful method at present appears to be a chemical method based on absorption of CO sub 2 into an organic solution of an amine. A paper on a stirred-autoclave apparatus for studying the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a slurry bed in included. (ERA citation 07:021119)
