Description
Fischer-Tropsch Technology is a unique book for its state-of-the-art approach to Fischer Tropsch (FT) technology. This
book provides an explanation of the basic principles and terminology that are required to understand the application of FT technology.
It also contains comprehensive references to patents and previous publications. As the first publication to focus on theory and application,
it is a contemporary reference source for students studying chemistry and chemical engineering. Researchers and engineers active in the
development of FT technology will also find this book an invaluable source of information.
