The FischerTropsch process is a catalytic chemical reaction in which carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2) in the syngas are converted into hydrocarbons of various molecular weights according to the following equation: (2n+1) H 2 + n CO → C n H (2n+2) + n H 2 O. Where n is an integer. Thus, for n=1, the reaction represents the formation of ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The beginning of the history of synthetic fuels datesgaso to 1913 when the first process of direct coal liquefaction (DLC) by mean of hydrogenation was patented in Germany by the chemist Friedrich Karl Rudolf Bergius () The basic principle of DLC was the use of coal instead of petroleum/crude oil to obtain liquid hydrocarbons used for fuel or as a base for producing other chemicals.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The utility of syngas as a fuel was realized in Germany during World War II, when gasoline shortages affected transportation for both the military and civilians. At the time, it was known that coal could be converted to liquid hydrocarbons through either the Bergius process, developed by German chemist Friedrich Bergius, or the FischerTropsch ...
