AB  - The effect of process conditions on product selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) over industrial iron-based catalyst (100 Fe/5 Cu/4.2 K/25 SiO2) was studied in a 1-L stirred tank slurry reactor. Experiments were performed over a range of different reaction conditions, including three temperatures (T = 493, 513 and 533K), four pressures (P = 0.8, 1.5, 2.25 and 2.5 MPa), two synthesis gas feed molar ratios (H-2/CO = 0.67 and 2) and gas space velocity from 0.52 to 23.5 Ndm(3)/g-Fe/h. The effect of process conditions on reaction pathways of FTS and secondary 1-olefin reactions was analyzed by comparing product selectivities, chain growth probabilities and ratios of main products (n-paraffin, 1- and 2-olefin). Reduction of methane production and increase of C5+ products was achieved by decreasing temperature, inlet H-2/CO ratio and/or increasing pressure. Overall selectivity toward methane and C5+ did not show significant changes with variations in residence time. All of the product selectivity variations were shown to be related to changes in chain length dependent growth probabilities.

AB  - Two kinetic models of Fischer-Tropsch product selectivity have been developed based on reaction networks from the literature. The models were fitted to experimental data obtained using commercial iron-based catalyst in a stirred tank slurry reactor and under a wide range of process conditions. Results showed that both of the rival models were able to provide a satisfactory prediction of the experimental product distribution for n-paraffin, 1- and 2-olefin. The simpler of the two models, a reaction network with a single type of active sites and solubility enhanced 1-olefin readsorption term, was chosen as more adequate for practical use.
