Inspired by patents from the 1960s audio cassette recording industry, chemists now developed a new Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. It can be used for the making of synthetic fuels from natural gas and ...

A fundamental discovery about the Fischer Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

A well-known reaction, Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) has been receiving increased attention recently as a result of the growing interest in the microGTL process. Compact units are required for ...

In a scene reminiscent of a television commercial, a man holds a glass of water-white liquid and extols the virtues of a process for making ultraclean diesel fuel. But there's no soothing background ...

WHOEVER SAID, "It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future," probably wasn't referring to Fischer-Tropsch (FT) chemistry. But the adage is apt just the same. The economics of ...

Incorporating gas heated reforming (GHR) technology into autothermal reforming (ATR)-based GTL processes offers combined benefits of significantly higher carbon efficiency and lower capital cost. An ...

First the feedstock methane is broken down by reacting it with oxygen in the form of steam or air to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In the second phase this syngas is fed to ...
