Chemistry: fischer-tropsch processes; or purification or recovery of products thereof January recently filed with US Patent Office 01/09

20090023821 - Method and apparatus for synthesizing hydrocarbons using sonic mixing and solid catalysts: Gasses containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen are converted into hydrocarbons using a reactor vessel having a liquid, a catalyst dispersed in the liquid, and a sonic mixing system interfaced with the reactor vessel. The sonic mixing system is used to agitate the mixture. In combination with the catalysts, the agitation... Agent: Douglas E. Mckinley, Jr.

20090023822 - Method for activating and regenerating catalyst for a fischer-tropsch synthesis reaction: A system and process to activate, regenerate and use a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst at Fisher-Tropsch vessel reaction temperatures from about 100° C. to about 300° C....
