TLDR
The Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process as mentioned in this paper forms saturated and unsaturated compounds of the homologous hydrocarbon series and allows the synthesis of hydrocarbons ranging from methane to high-melting paraffins with molecular weights above 20,000.Abstract:
The hydrogenation of carbon monoxide by the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process [1] forms saturated and unsaturated compounds of the homologous hydrocarbon series. It permits the synthesis of hydrocarbons ranging from methane to high-melting paraffins with molecular weights above 20,000, depending on the catalyst, temperature, and type of process employed. By-products such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters are formed on a smaller scale. Small amounts of aromatic compounds are formed at high temperatures by secondary dehydrocyclization reactions from the primary hydrocarbons formed.read more

The continuous phase heat and mass transfer properties of dispersions
P.H. Calderbank,M.B. Moo-Young +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the interfacial area in gas-liquid dispersions and correlated the data with other published data for heat and mass transfer in liquid-liquid and solid-gas dispersions in which the dispersed phases are free to move under the action of gravity.
