RESEARCH OF THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING ALCOHOLS BASED ON BY-PRODUCTS OBTAINED IN THE FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS

Abstract

Today, in the world and in our country, the need for fuel for liquid internal combustion engines used in the transport sector is met by fuels produced in an alternative form (liquefied synthetic fuels) in addition to natural liquid hydrocarbon sources. Fischer Tropish synthesis is one of the main processes in the production technology of liquid synthetic fuel. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis produces alkanes, alkenes, water of reaction and alcohols. This article examines the factors influencing the efficiency of the formation of main and by-products as a result of the reaction during the production of liquefied synthetic fuels. The results of studies on the analysis of the composition of by-products formed during the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and the extraction of alcohols based on them are also presented.
