Bubbling in Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis with Nanosized Catalyst: a Study Using a Model Slurry Reactor

Bubbling in the liquid phase simulating the reaction medium consisting of molten paraffin and iron-containing nanosized catalyst was studied. An aerator (disperser) for a model bubbling installation with the design and process parameters maximally similar to those of an intended slurry reactor with nanosized iron-containing catalytic suspension for performing Fischer–Tropsch synthesis was chosen.
