ABSTRACT:

A summary of Fischer-Tropsch studies in bench-scale tube wall reactors using flame-sprayed catalysts is presented. Preliminary studies were conducted with various flame-sprayed catalysts, after which taconite was chosen as the prime candidate for more extensive evaluation. Results from several life tests with promoted and unpromoted taconite are reported, along with a data base that discusses the effects of various process variables on catalyst activity and product selectivity.
