Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis in a Fluidized Catalyst Reactor with a Nitrided, Fused-Iron Catalyst

Description: Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over testing conducted on "the synthesis of liquid fuels from carbon monoxide and hydrogen by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis" (p. 1). Descriptions of the equipment and methods used are presented. The results are also discussed. This report includes tables, graphs, and illustrations.

Preparation Characteristics of Some Coals Available for the Synthetic Liquid Fuels Industry

Description: From Introduction: "The first major assignment was the sampling and testing of a series of typical American coals deemed to be suitable for hydrogenation based on early research work conducted by the Bureau of Mines. The first series of tests has been completed and is reported in this paper."

Hydrocarbon characterization experiments in fully turbulent fires.

Description: As the capabilities of numerical simulations increase, decision makers are increasingly relying upon simulations rather than experiments to assess risks across a wide variety of accident scenarios including fires. There are still, however, many aspects of fires that are either not well understood or are difficult to treat from first principles due to the computational expense. For a simulation to be truly predictive and to provide decision makers with information which can be reliably used for … more

Liquid Fuel Production from Biomass via High Temperature Steam Electrolysis

Description: A process model of syngas production using high temperature electrolysis and biomass gasification is presented. Process heat from the biomass gasifier is used to heat steam for the hydrogen production via the high temperature steam electrolysis process. Hydrogen from electrolysis allows a high utilization of the biomass carbon for syngas production. Oxygen produced form the electrolysis process is used to control the oxidation rate in the oxygen-fed biomass gasifier. Based on the gasifier tempe… more

The Problem of Liquid Fuels (for Aircraft Engines)

Description: "The crisis which troubles the world market for liquid fuel in general and for carburants in particular is doubtless one of the most serious ever experienced by modern industry. It is a national crisis of economic and political independence for countries like Italy and France. The solutions suggested for meeting the lack of liquid fuel may be summed up under two general headings: the economical use of the petroleum now available; creation of petroleum substitutes from natural sources within the… more
