A.
Fischer-Tropsch
In this method carbon monoxide needed is made by passing steam over red hot coke. The water gas thus obtained is mixed with hydrogen and passed at a pressure of 5 - 10 atm into a chamber containing a cobalt catalyst at 200°C.
nCO + (2n + 1) H2 CnH2n + 2 + 4H2O
The product is a mixture consisting mainly of liquid hydrocarbons.
