Abstract: | The thermodynamics of synthesis reactions relevant to the production of alcohols, aldehydes, olefins, paraffins and aromatics lead us to conclude that the direct synthesis of aromatics will be favoured at temperatures around 650 K. We also note that the exothermicity of such a synthesis will be some 20% lower than that in conventional Fischer Tropsch synthesis. |
