Abstract

The synthesis of C5+ hydrocarbons, including unsaturated ones, on the Co-Al2O3/SiO2 catalyst was studied in flow and flow-circulation operation modes at a pressure of 2.0 MPa, a gas space velocity of 1000 h–1, H2/CO ratios in the initial gas of 2.0, 1.85, and 1.70, circulation rate of 4–16. It was determined that the maximum parameters of the synthesizing C5+ hydrocarbons from CO and H2 on this catalyst—CO conversion, selectivity, and performance for C5+ products—are detected at a circulation rate of 8 over a whole range of the studied H2/CO ratios in the initial syngas. The content of olefins in the synthesis products was found to increase to ~30 wt % when using the circulation rate of 8–16. It was found that upon the synthesis of hydrocarbons by the Fischer–Tropsch method in the flow-circulation mode, the rate of catalyst deactivation diminishes, which may be due to a decrease in the partial pressure of water in the reaction zone.
