in a novel dual bed reactor fischer-tropsch synthesis was studied by using two diffrent cobalt catalysts. an alkali-promoted cobalt catalyst was used in the first bed of a fixed-bed reactor followed by a rutenuim promoted cobalt catalyst in the second bed. the activity, product selectivity and accelerated deactivation of the system were assessed and compared with a conventional single bed react...

The production of methane by reacting CO2 with H2 (CO2 methanation) has the potential for producing synthetic natural gas, which could be exported using the existing infrastructure for the distribution of natural gas. The methanation of CO2 was investigated over a wide range of partial pressures of products and reactants using (i) a gradientless, spinning-basket reactor operated in batch mode a...

Abstract Plasma-assisted conversion of ethane (C 2 H 6 ) can produce value-added chemical building blocks using green electricity. Here we employ a simple packed-bed coaxial dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor to convert C at mild operating conditions unattainable by conventional thermocatalysis. Ethylene 4 ), acetylene and methane (CH are the main products along with small fractions 3 h...
