Popis: Careful attention to reactor operating procedures and methods of product trapping and analysis is required to obtain accurate and reliable data on selectivity and kinetics when a wide variety of products are formed. Useful methods are discussed in detail. The focus of attention is on use of iron-based Fischer—Tropsch catalysts studied in a well-mixed slurry reactor, but many of the findings apply to other catalysts and reactor systems used for Fischer—Tropsch synthesis or to other reactions in which a complex mixture of products is formed. Some apparent discrepancies in the literature regarding catalyst activity and selectivity in Fischer—Tropsch synthesis are explained by analysis of the pertinent experimental systems.
