Laboratory scale research for low temperature FTS is normally carried out in a fixed bed or a slurry bed reactor. A batch reactor in the gas-solid reaction regime is seldom used by researchers in either evaluating a catalyst or studying the mechanism of the FTS. It is however of value in investigating the FTS as it creates an even reactant distribution in the reactor, and eliminates the effect of the solvent, which is used in a slurry bed. The tank reactor is operated in CSTR mode followed by Batch mode.The conversion at various reaction durations was tracked and the reaction rate was compared to that in the CSTR mode.CO2 selectivity is compared at CSTR and batch modes and the oxidation of the TiO2 supported cobalt catalyst are discussed. The pressure of the reactor was monitored and the pressure readings in the reactor suggested the phase of product water.
