Electron-beam-induced conversion of gaseous and solid paraffins in the circulation regime

Аннотация

The following three regimes of the radiation-induced production of liquid hydrocarbon fuel have been compared: (1) the direct cracking of molten C₁₇–C₁₂₀ synthetic wax, (2) direct gas-phase synthesis from methane, and (3) the indirect initiation of the fragmentation of wax diluted with methane. It has been found that in contrast to the direct cracking, regime (3) afforded lighter products containing more saturated and isomeric components. In this case, the degree of methane binding is higher by a factor of almost 3 than that in regime (1).
