Abstract

A rotating packed-bed (RPB) reactor has been first applied to the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reaction. The main products of the FTS can be selectively formed by choosing the optimum high gravity level of the RPB reactor, which has opened a door to tailor the product distribution of FTS. The high selectivity of light olefins in RPB reactor provides a novel pathway to directly and effectively form light olefins from syngas, syngas to olefin (STO), which would avoid low-efficiency methanol synthesis and methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process.
