Abstract
The present invention relates to a continuous separation and discharge apparatus and method of solid catalysts and liquid products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions, and more particularly, to a continuous separation and discharge apparatus and method of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions involving the conversion of synthetic gas into synthetic oil, by which products of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis including wax, as a long-chain hydrocarbon, can be stably obtained by continuously separating the products from a slurry comprising solid catalyst particles and the products using periodic pulses of a feeding gas and discharging the products through a lower portion of a reactor. Provided is a continuous separation and discharge apparatus of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions including: a level sensing device which is installed at an upper portion of a reactor and detects the slurry-level of reactants; a solid catalyst/product separation device and a discharge device which are installed at a lower portion of the reactor and separate and discharge liquid products from a mixed slurry in the reactor; and a control unit…
