Abstract:
In this paper, we report an experimental study of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from Santilli magnegas. The feedstock for magnegas was a superfine mixture of used motor oil and tap water. The mixture was made by using patented apparatus with a rough premix of the two ingredients as the input. It does not separate back to the oil and water under centrifuge 10,000 rev/min for 5 min, and stay stable for more than 30 days when left untouched. Magnegas was produced from this feedstock on mobile 100 kW unit produced by Magnegas Corporation, USA. Produced magnegas was supplied to the laboratory in new metal cylinders at about 10 MPa pressure. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was made with the help of promoted catalyst containing Aluminum oxide, Cobalt, and other ingredients mixed with silica, at a range of moderate temperatures. Before sending to the synthesis, magnegas was enriched by Hydrogen to provide favorable 2:1 ratio for H2:CO. Hydrocarbons ranging up to n-dodecane C12H26 have been identified in the final product of the synthesis. Conversion of CO in the one pass process has reached 73.7%. <br />It was observed that at room temperature liquid part of the product made of magnegas is about 30% heavier by its content than that made previously from a mixture of standard H2 and CO supplied by technical gases company. This means considerably better efficiency of synthesis from magnegas as compared to that from usual mixture of H2 and CO. Chromatogram of the liquid product shows that its content is typical for diesel.
