Abstract
A thermal medium-circulated heat exchanger type reactor comprises: a tube unit configured such that synthesis gas is supplied to a cobalt catalyst layer filled with the cobalt metal foam catalysts each including a metal foam coated with cobalt catalyst powder to conduct a reaction; a shell unit configured to cover the tube unit such that thermal medium oil having a predetermined temperature is circulated to control reaction heat generated from a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction; and an electric heater provided at the circumference of the shell unit to heat a cobalt catalyst layer to reduce and pretreat the cobalt catalyst layer.
