ABSTRACT:

The following three points sum up the areas emphasized in this research project: 1) The production of synthesis gas through the partial catalytic oxidation of natural gas with air was researched using semi-technical apparatus. This included experiments on the desulphurization of natural gas, since the catalysts of the partial oxidation and the Fischer-Tropsch-Synthesis are very sensitive to sulphur. 2) Fundamental experiments on the kinetics of the Fischer-Tropsch-Synthesis were carried out under laboratory conditions, using a nitrogeneous synthesis gas, to allow the calculation of the optimum reaction conditions and suitable catalyst in order to produce the desired products. 3) The Fischer-Tropsch-Synthesis was then researched in semi-technical apparatus using a nitrogenous synthesis gas, as a development from the laboratory results. The synthesis gas was produced by mixing the seperate components from gasbottles. Finally, both of the semi-technical systems were operated  together (Production of synthesis gas and Fischer-Tropsch-Synthese).  (orig./HS). (Copyright (c) 1995 by FIZ. Citation no. 95:005039.)
