Chain growth reaction thus appears to involve both ‘olefin insertion’ as well as ‘CO-insertion’. Using 14C-labelled ethylene and propene over cobalt catalysts results in incorporation of these olefins into the growing chain. This observation establishes the facility of C–O bond scission. Many related stoichiometric reactions have been simulated on discrete metal clusters, but homogeneous Fischer–Tropsch catalysts are poorly developed and of no commercial importance.Īddition of isotopically labelled alcohol to the feed stream results in incorporation of alcohols into product. Furthermore, and critical to the production of liquid fuels, are reactions that form C–C bonds, such as migratory insertion. Other potential intermediates are various C 1 fragments including formyl (CHO), hydroxycarbene (HCOH), hydroxymethyl (CH 2OH), methyl (CH 3), methylene (CH 2), methylidyne (CH), and hydroxymethylidyne (COH). The CO ligand is speculated to undergo dissociation, possibly into oxide and carbide ligands. Such reactions are assumed to proceed via initial formation of surface-bound metal carbonyls. The conversion of CO to alkanes involves hydrogenation of CO, the hydrogenolysis (cleavage with H 2) of C–O bonds, and the formation of C–C bonds.

Transfer of 2 H to the carbon to yield CH 2.

Transfer of 2 H to the oxygen to yield H 2O.

The growth of the hydrocarbon chain may be visualized as involving a repeated sequence in which hydrogen atoms are added to carbon and oxygen, the C–O bond is split and a new C–C bond is formed.įor one –CH 2– group produced by CO + 2 H 2 → (CH 2) + H 2O, several reactions are necessary: Fischer–Tropsch intermediates and elemental reactions Ĭonverting a mixture of H 2 and CO into aliphatic products is a multi-step reaction with several intermediate compounds. The Fischer–Tropsch reaction is a highly exothermic reaction due to a standard reaction enthalpy (ΔH) of −165 kJ/mol CO combined. In addition to alkane formation, competing reactions give small amounts of alkenes, as well as alcohols and other oxygenated hydrocarbons. Most of the alkanes produced tend to be straight-chain, suitable as diesel fuel. The formation of methane ( n = 1) is unwanted. The more useful reactions produce alkanes as follows:

The Fischer–Tropsch process involves a series of chemical reactions that produce a variety of hydrocarbons, ideally having the formula (C nH 2 n+2). 2.3.4 Fluid-bed and circulating catalyst (riser) reactors.2.3 Design of the Fischer–Tropsch process reactor.1.1 Fischer–Tropsch intermediates and elemental reactions.The Fischer–Tropsch process has received intermittent attention as a source of low-sulfur diesel fuel and to address the supply or cost of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. The Fischer–Tropsch process then converts these gases into synthetic lubrication oil and synthetic fuel. In the usual implementation, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, the feedstocks for FT, are produced from coal, natural gas, or biomass in a process known as gasification.

Īs a premier example of C1 chemistry, the Fischer–Tropsch process is an important reaction in both coal liquefaction and gas to liquids technology for producing liquid hydrocarbons. The process was first developed by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, in 1925. These reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts, typically at temperatures of 150–300 ☌ (302–572 ☏) and pressures of one to several tens of atmospheres. The Fischer–Tropsch process is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen or water gas into liquid hydrocarbons.
