Effects of CO and H2 Partial Pressures on Fischer–Tropsch Performance in a Slurry Reactor over Nanosized Fe-Based Catalysts
摘要
For the first time, the study systematically investigates, the effects of the partial pressures of CO and H2 on Fischer–Tropsch performance in a slurry bubble column reactor (SBCR) over an iron-based nanodispersion. It is shown that, over the tested temperature range, both decreasing CO partial pressure and increasing H2 partial pressure enhance CO conversion. At CO/H2 molar ratios of 1 : 1.5 to 1 : 2, reactor pressures of 1.9–2.2 MPa, and temperatures of 240–300°C, methane and C2–C4 hydrocarbons are selectively produced. On the other hand, at CO/H2 = 1 : 1, 1.5–2.0 MPa, and 280–300°C, the predominant products were C5+ hydrocarbons. The CO/H2 molar ratios of 1 : 1 to 1 : 2, 1.5–2.2 MPa, and 240–260°C are the optimal reaction conditions to maximize the selectivity towards oxygenates. The XRD data for the spent catalysts corroborate the correlations identified during the catalytic test.
