Syngas to Synthetic Fuels The Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Syngas to Synthetic Fuels The Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis... 

The synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO hydrogenation over transition metals is a m or source of organic synthetic chemicals and fuels. The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction, which is directed to the production of hydrocarbons from syngas, implies the polymerisation of -CH, entities and carbon-carbon bond formation is required. 

Another actual pyrolysis-based biorefinery concept is the Bioliq process that was developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).Bioliq aims at the production of synthetic fuels such as Fischer-Tropsch diesel and chemicals from biomass. Synthesis based on synthesis gas requires pressures of up to 10 MPa. High-pressure entrained flow gasification provides high-quality tar-free syngas with low methane contents.
