Abstract

The optimum loading on the iron-containing catalytic dispersion of the three-phase Fischer—Tropsch synthesis is 25 nL h−1 when using an autoclave reactor. The linear velocity of the synthesis gas corresponds to 0.003 cm s−1. Under these conditions, the following synthesis parameters were achieved: CO conversion of 80%, liquid hydrocarbon productivity 400 g kg Fe−1 h−1. Based on the data obtained, when modeling a column reactor for three-phase Fischer—Tropsch synthesis, the following unit dimensions were calculated: height 1.6 m, internal diameter 0.045 m.
