Fischer-Tropsch quarterly report for period ending January 31, 1986
The Fischer-Tropsch reaction is a complex of many reactions. Among those that have been demonstrated to occur on the catalyst surface are CO dissociation, build-up of carbon chains by a polymerization process, desorption of products such as olefins and oxygen-containing compounds, water formation and its subsequent shift reaction to form CO/sub 2/, olefin hydrogenation, isomerization and reincorporation in the synthesis and, probably, other reactions yet to be identified and studied. The tracer technique, involving the feeding of /sup 14/C-labeled compounds to the synthesis, is being used here in an effort to learn how catalyst additives and supports influence these reactions and determine the final product distribution. During this quarter, runs were made with unlabeled ethanol and pentanol. The change in products between sample collection periods when alcohol was added to the CO/H/sub 2/ and when only CO/H/sub 2/ were present clearly indicated that alcohols were incorporated into higher carbon products. 5 figs.
