3 FT Synthesis Kinetics
Due to the complex reaction network, various groups of researchers have taken a
different approach in describing the kinetic model for the system with decreased
intricacy. As discussed earlier, mainly, two approaches were taken for the FT synthesis kinetics, which leads to various empirical, semi-empirical, mechanistic, and
semi-mechanistic rate expressions. The mechanistic approach, models, was developed using the LHHW method, and the focus was mainly to predict the rate of
consumption of feed gas. FT synthesis mechanism explained in Sect. 2 is selected
to derive the model based on the results of best-fitted models. Most of the reported
