Abstract

A method is suggested to produce aliphatic hydrocarbons by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen under heating in the presence of iron-based catalyst. The synthesis is carried out in a flow reactor at elevated pressure and a temperature of 210°C. The catalyst is regenerated by hydrogen at a temperature of 500-525°C and a space velocity of 3200 hr-1. Then the catalyst is treated by dried carbon monoxide at a temperature of about 210°C. The synthesis is carried out at a pressure of 10 atmospheres, a space velocity of 80-120 hr-1 and at a temperature of 240-260°C. In order to increase the yield of the target product, 1.1-1.4 vol.% of acetylene is added into the feed. Owing to acetylene additives, the primary product contains 80-85% of olefins, the total yield of hydrocarbons being 160-180 g/nm3. The olefins produced comprise 70% of α-olefins and 30% of other olefins.
