What is the proportion of hydrocarbons synthesized by Fischer-Tropsch Synthese in liquid fuels consumed by Nazi Germany? What are the proportions of these hydrocarbons as an industrial raw material into their military industry, in addition to fuel? At that time, did the Fischer-Tropsch preparations occupy an important position in Nazi Germany's military industry or heavy industry?
Now, the improved economic benefits of FT still limit its further development. Some of the enterprises' coal indirect liquefaction projects have been terminated (for example, Shenhua Group), coupled with the impact of breakthrough development of shale oil technology, the development prospect of coal indirect liquefaction not optimistic.
The FT synthesis method is a coal liquefaction technique under an iron-based catalyst (conventional FT method is a cobalt-based catalyst). Mainly syngas (CO and H2-based) saturated alkylation technology.
The traditional FT synthesis method of the product of heavy hydrocarbon content is high, the composition is complex, so the combustion efficiency is not optimistic. Germany is in view of the supply of oil is less than consumption (loss of production areas and lack of refined production capacity) was forced to take the FT technology to add (Germany's local coal reserves larger). So the FT fuel in the World War II Germany's energy system accounted for little, the specific data is still controversial, there are 15% and 25% said.
