Hot Review Article: Syngas generations using gas to liquid processes

This Perspective article by Eduardo Falabella Sousa-Aguiar, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and colleagues, has been chosen as a Catalysis Science & Technology Hot article.

The review focuses on gas to liquid processes, which are used in the conversion of natural gas to hydrocarbons (either to form a synthetic version of crude oil, or more specific higher molecular weight hydrocarbons)

The authors look at the gas to liquid process for making syngas, catalytic partial oxidation of methane, membrane reactors, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and also the technological aspects of a GTL plant.
