Abstract:
1. A Fischer-Tropsch process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a reactor including substrate elements having catalyst filaments formed on the substrates elements, the catalyst filaments comprising (i) a diameter of about 10 nm to about 500 nm; (ii) a length of about 30 nm to about 5000 nm; (iii) a packing density of between 5 mg/cm (b) injecting a carbon compound and hydrogen into the reactor such that at least a portion of the carbon compound and hydrogen contact the catalyst filaments; (c) reacting the carbon compound and hydrogen with the catalyst filaments at a temperature of between about 150° F. and about 500° F. and a pressure of less than about 500 psig.
