ABSTRACT:

One objective for this quarter was to continue studies on effective diffusivity measurements to obtain diffusion coefficients of Fischer-Tropsch products in supercritical fluids. Objectives for this quarter on Fischer-Tropsch reaction related studies were: (1) to purchase a new liquid pump for future supercritical experiments; (2) to make further improvements in the on-line GC analysis and reactor assembly; (3) to continue Fischer-Tropsch reaction tests using propane as the supercritical solvent with different reaction conditions and/or operating procedures; and (4) to perform a more detailed analysis of the data collected in run FA-0844. Accomplishments for these tasks are discussed.
