Process for hydrocarbon synthesis using slurry Fischer-Tropsch process with Co/TiO2 catalyst

摘要

Cobalt/titania catalyst used in slurry bubble column for the Fischer-Tropsch conversion of CO and H₂ to hydrocarbons gives better results than predicted using engineering principles. Specifically, when operating a slurry bubble column at a Peclet number (Npe) of 3 to 10, productivity is equal to or greater than for plug flow, and the selectivity of fully back-mixed system is obtained.
