This paper aims to investigate if Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) is feasible in a bottom split reactive dividing wall column (BS-RDWC) from a theoretical viewpoint. In-built thermodynamic procedures of Aspen Plus, along with a detail kinetic model proposed by Iglesia et al. that predicts the consumption rate of CO and production rate of methane, and the Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) model that relates products distribution to chain growth probability are used in carrying out the simulations. The chain growth probability depends on partial pressures of H₂ and CO and temperature of each stage of the BS-RDWC. The rigorous simulation results show that the BS-RDWC has a product yield of 3.92 kg/hr for syngas mass flow of 12.23 kg/hr, CO conversion of 86 %, H₂ conversion of 93 %, and carbon efficiency of 0.59. Simulation results of the BS-RDWC are compared with a conventional FT reactor followed by a distillation column. The results showed that the BS-RDWC configuration has higher total product yield and produces hydrocabon products with a higher purity than the conventional configuration.

本文旨在从理论的角度研究费-托合成（FTS）在底部裂分反应式分隔壁塔（BS-RDWC）中是否可行。Aspen Plus的内置热力学程序以及Iglesia等人提出的详细动力学模型。该模型可预测CO的消耗率和甲烷的生产率，并使用将产品分布与链增长概率相关联的Anderson-Schulz-Flory（ASF）模型进行模拟。链增长的概率取决于H ₂和CO的分压以及BS-RDWC每个阶段的温度。严格的模拟结果表明，BS-RDWC的合成气质量流量为12​​.23 kg / hr，CO转化率为86％，H ₂的产品收率为3.92 kg / hr转化率为93％，碳效率为0.59。将BS-RDWC的模拟结果与常规FT反应器和随后的蒸馏塔进行了比较。结果表明，与常规构造相比，BS-RDWC构造具有更高的总产品收率并生产出具有更高纯度的氢化碳产品。
