The kinetics of the gas-solid Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over a precipitated Fe/Cu/La/SiO2 catalyst was studied in a well mixed, continuous spinning basket reactor. A wide range of synthesis gas conversions have been obtained by varying experimental conditions. Several Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson type rate equations were derived based on detailed sets of possible reaction mechanisms originating from the carbide, enolic and combined enol/carbide mechanisms. Three models for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction rate were fitted to the experimental reaction rates. Kinetic parameters of models are determined using the genetic algorithm approach (GA), followed by the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method to make refined optimization, and are validated by means of statistical analysis. Simulations using the optimal kinetic models derived showed good agreement with experimental data.
