KINETIC MODELS OF THE MOLECULAR MASS DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRODUCTS OF THE FISCHER–TROPSCH SYNTHESIS AT COBALT CATALYSTS

Kinetic models were used to investigate the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis at increased pressures. The general mechanism proposed for the process at low and increased pressures was based on quantitative analysis of the products obtained with cobalt catalysts at pressures of 2.5-10 MPa using various kinetic models, the previously developed reference point method, and published data.
