Production of Hydrocarbon Fuel from Synthesis Gas Obtained by the Gasification of Oil Shales

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was carried out over cobalt catalysts using gas from oil shale as a model. A broad hydrocarbon fraction can be obtained over cobalt catalysts using model mixtures (CO + CO 2 + H 2 + N 2 ) from Leningrad and Kashpir oil shale products. A study was carried out on the effect of the synthesis gas composition, support and promoter type, temperature, pressure, and volumetric stock feed rate on catalyst efficiency, carbon monoxide conversion, as well as the selectivity and yield of the liquid products. Liquid hydrocarbon selectivity up to 88.7% was achieved with low methane selectivity (3.3%). The hydrocarbons obtained show chain growth probability up to 0.87.

Notes

  1. The value of α may be found in the range from 0 to 1 and reflects the mass composition of the products. At low values of α, primarily volatile hydrocarbons are formed, while solids are formed at high values.
