Authors: not saved
Abstract:
In this research, Fischer Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been modeled in the fixed bed chromatographic reactor for the first time by applying a rather complex dispersed plug flow model for fluid phase and linear driving force (LDF) model for adsorbent. Model equations are dynamic, multi-component, non-linear and heterogeneous including reaction and adsorption simultaneously Complex kinetics for FTS and water-gas shift (WGS) reaction and the multicomponent Langmuir adsorption isotherm is used in the model. A set of partial differential and ordinary differential equations with algebraic equations have been converted into a set of ordinary differential equations by using the orthogonal collocation technique. Then this set of equations has been solved by multi-step methods of Numerical Differentiation Formulae (NDF) or Backward Dif-ferentiation Formulae (BDF) Known as the Gear’s method. Consequently, results for dynamic model and effects of modeling parameters have been analyzed. Through this fixed bed chromatographic reactor model, one may develop a suitable configuration of simulated moving bed chromatographic reactors.

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a catalytic process that can produce a fuel similar to fossil fuels by using primary sources such as agricultural waste and carbon sources that can convert into synthesis gas by superheated steam. All fuel derivatives can be supplied through the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. The synthesis produces a variety of hydrocarbons via parallel and sequential reactions. Howe...

A tubular pilot scale fixed-bed reactor for the Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) was simulated to numerically demonstrate the conversion of synthesis gas (CO+H2) to higher hydrocarbons over an iron based catalyst. The reactor was a 3.1 cm diameter and 2.75 m length steel tube. The feed temperature were between 563583 K. Saturated water was employed to control the peak temperature within the cata...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
