Abstract: Process for the conversion of synthesis gas to liquid hydrocarbon products by contacting, in a slurry reactor, synthesis gas at an elevated temperature and pressure with a suspension of catalyst in a liquid medium, introducing a low boiling solvent into the slurry reactor, vaporising at least a portion of the low boiling solvent in the slurry reactor, withdrawing from the slurry reactor, a gaseous stream comprising unreacted synthesis gas and vaporised low boiling solvent, cooling at least a portion of the gaseous stream to a temperature at which liquid condenses out so as to form a two phase mixture of gas and condensed liquid, and recycling at least a portion of the gas and at least a portion of the condensed liquid to the slurry reactor.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in part, to a nicotine-containing composition that can be readily dissolved in a beverage such as coffee. The composition includes nicotine as an active ingredient, a water-soluble filler, and in some instances, a binder. The composition can be provided as a tablet or a powder and is capable of dissolving in the beverage within a very short period of time. The present invention also relates, in part, to a method for preparing a beverage comprising nicotine. The present invention also encompasses compositions including coffee and nicotine including nicotine-coated coffee beans, or a packet containing compositions including desired amounts of coffee and nicotine.
