Abstract:
1. A method for synthesizing hydrocarbons from gasses containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen comprising the steps of: a. providing a reactor vessel, b. providing a sonic mixing system interfaced with said reactor vessel, c. providing a liquid in said reactor vessel, d. providing a catalyst dispersed within said liquid, e. directing a gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen into said liquid, f. agitating said mixture with said sonic mixing system, thereby enhancing at least one chemical reaction converting the carbon monoxide and hydrogen into at least one hydrocarbon, and g. maintaining the reactor vessel at a temperature and pressure such that the liquid in the reactor vessel is maintained as in a liquid phase and the hydrocarbons formed from the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into at least one hydrocarbon is maintained in a gas phase.
