WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The utility of syngas as a fuel was realized in Germany during World War II, when gasoline shortages affected transportation for both the military and civilians. At the time, it was known that coal could be converted to liquid hydrocarbons through either the Bergius process, developed by German chemist Friedrich Bergius, or the FischerTropsch ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The Bergius process is a method of production of liquid hydrocarbons for use as synthetic fuel by hydrogenation of highvolatile bituminous coal at high temperature and pressure. It was first developed by Friedrich Bergius in 1913. In 1931 Bergius was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his development of highpressure chemistry. [1] Process
