The influence of the liquid medium on Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) chemistry has received only minimal attention in the literature. The focus of this investigation was to determine the impact of the liquid starting medium on syngas (H{sub 2}+CO) conversion in a 1-liter CSTR. The results of the work indicate a greater deactivation rate for the F-T reaction in heavier starting media, average carbon number {ge}48, versus a medium with an average carbon number of 28.
