The Fischer-Tropsch Process
Hans Tropsch
Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch produced a liquid fraction at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (KWI) that they termed “Synthol”
Reaction conditions: 150 bar, 400– 450 °C, potassium carbonate impregnated iron filings
Work was based on studies by Mittasch and Schneider on conversion of mixtures of CO and H2 in the presence of heterogeneous metal catalysts;such as supported CoO(BASF, German Patent DRP 293,787 (1913); A. Mittasch, C. Schneider, US Patent 1,201,850 (1916).
1925
copyright reserved: Sasol Technology R&D, FTR and C1 Chemistry Research, HCC 19 August 2010
The beginning of an industry for the production of transportation fuels from synthesis gas (CO/H2)
To test the usefulness of the Synthol products, as transportation fuels, the oil layer was separated from the aqueous layer, de-acidified and fractionated by distillation and then subsequently
road tested using a 1922 model NSU motorbike.
Basic FT reaction: n CO + 2n H2 ≡ (-CH2-)n + nH2O (dHR = - 39.4 kcal/gmol)
…and the rest is history…
