XTL PROCESSES. TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PROCESSING OF FOSSIL AND RENEWABLE CARBON-CONTAINING RAW MATERIAL BASED ON FISHER-TROPSH PROCESS. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR PRODUCING OF SYNTHETIC LIQUID FUELS USING FISHER-TROPSH SYNTHESIS
The article presents the main aspects of the development of the production of synthetic liquid fuels (SLF) by the Fischer-Tropsch method using various types of raw materials. Information is provided on the most successful commercial projects for the production of SLF, implemented in various countries, since the 1930s and ending with modern plants GTL (Gas-to-Liquid). The main technological parameters of the processes are described with reference to the catalysts used, basic schemes of the industrial Fischer-Tropsch synthesis plants and processing of the products obtained, as well as information on the range and composition of the products obtained.
