Separation of Fischer-Tropsch wax from catalyst by supercritical fluid extraction. Technical progress report, October--December 1994

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:52706
Goal is to evaluate the potential of supercritical fluid extraction for separating the catalyst slurry of a Fischer-Tropsch slurry bubble column reactor into two fractions: a catalyst-free wax containing <10 ppM solids and a concentrated catalyst slurry ready for recycle/regeneration. Efforts focused on programming and testing of the SAFT equation and automation of the continuous-flow apparatus.
