  • Publication number: 20170349838
    Abstract: A process synthesizes C5 and higher hydrocarbons from natural gas through intermediate conversion of natural gas to synthesis gas and subsequent conversion of CO and H2 by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The process includes steam reforming of natural gas in a steam reforming reactor to form synthesis gas, separating carbon dioxide from the synthesis gas by a liquid absorption method to a residual carbon dioxide content in the synthesis gas no more than 5 vol. %, separating an excess of hydrogen from the synthesis gas by a hydrogen-permeable membrane apparatus to a H2:CO molar ratio in the range of 1.9 to 2.3 and synthesizing liquid hydrocarbon from the synthesis gas by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

  • Patent number: 9315386
    Abstract: The present invention is used to produce long carbon nanotubes used, for example, in automobile and/or aircraft industry. An object of the invention is to obtain bundles of multi-walled and well oriented nanotubes of sufficient length and provide stability of continuous nanotubes producing process. The method comprises introducing a carbon-bearing component, a promoter and a precursor of a carbon nanotube growth catalyst in a carrier gas stream to form a mixture of these components; passing said mixture through the a reactor heated to an operating temperature of 1000° C. to 1200° C. and removing nanotubes formed in the reactor into a product receiver. The mixture is fed in the reactor from the bottom upwards at a linear flow velocity of 50 mm/c to 130 mm/c. When the temperature in the reactor reaches said operating temperature, the linear flow velocity of the mixture is decreased to 4-10 mm/c, and the linear flow velocity is increased to 30-130 mm/c at the outlet of the reactor.

  • Publication number: 20140311348
    Abstract: A horizontal housing-tubular module of a hydride thermal sorption hydrogen separator-compressor comprising a housing with tubular sorption elements made in the form of a cylinder filled with hydrogen sorbent based on intermetallic compounds that form reversible hydrides, and a porous tubular gas distribution device. The tubular sorption elements comprise an inner cylinder. The hydrogen sorbent is located in the annular space between the inner and outer cylinders, and the porous tubular gas distribution device is made in the form of tubes with one end plugged. The tubes are located in the top and bottom section of the sorption element for supplying a gas mixture and removing hydrogen and residual gas. The tubes are connected with tube collectors. The invention makes it possible to create a high-output housing-tubular module of a hydride thermal sorption hydrogen separator-compressor producing pure hydrogen at positive pressure.
