Abstract:

FT synthesis reaction is a highly exothermic reaction，in order to transfer the heat of reaction and control the temperature and state of the reaction system effectively，research and development of FT synthesis reactor is the key to effective implementation of this process. The commercialization and status of the FT synthesis reactor are reviewed，and several new reactors emerging in recent years，such as micro-channel reactor，radial reactor，new type of fluid bed reactor，slurry bed reactor with expanding section and slurry bed reactor with circulation，are introduced. The development and prospects of these new reactors are analyzed.
