Composition of products at the outlet of Fischer-Tropsch reactor

Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor.

1. Hydrocarbons are mainly alkanes and olefins, such as methane, ethylene, propylene, etc.

2. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, these are two important gases generated in the reaction, among which carbon monoxide can enter the reactor again to participate in the reaction.

3. Nitrogen. Since air is the source of oxygen in the reaction, the reactor outlet gas also contains a large amount of nitrogen.

4. During the reaction, part of the hydrogen and oxygen will combine to form water vapor. The Fischer-Tropsch reactor is a device that catalytically reacts gaseous hydrocarbons with gaseous oxygen. The product composition is related to the reaction conditions.
