METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE OPERATION OF A THREE-PHASE BUBBLE COLUMN WITH FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS APPLICATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for optimally operating a three-phase bubble reactor containing a suspension of solid particles in a liquid characterized by injecting, in the form of bubbles, near the end. lower of said reactor a gaseous phase containing the reagent (s) necessary for the production of the desired products and at least part of the liquid fraction and optionally of the solid fraction of said suspension, taken from nearby, is recirculated from one end of said reactor and reintroduced near the other end of said reactor, with a velocity of the liquid Ul within the reactor at least equal to and preferably greater than the sedimentation rate Us of the solid particles. The invention also relates to a device allowing the optimal operation of said method. BR/ Finally, the invention relates to the use of said method and device in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
