Talk:Gas to liquids

It's normally used as the plural "gas-to-liquids", because it produces different liquids at the same time. Does anybody object? ObsidianOrder 04:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Oryx GTL in Qatar is the World First GTL Plant....

This article seems to imply that the only MTG reaction is that using the zeolite catalyst. While that's surely the most popular (and possibly the only one used industrially), there are others. For instance, Donald Pearson first showed that it could be done with polyphosphoric acid, and at lower temperatures.

(In the interest of disclosure, I'm only interested in this subject because I work with such a mechanism. I most likely wouldn't even know about it otherwise... Should that indicate that the material isn't noteworthy?) --Maebnus 04:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Should that indicate that the material isn't noteworthy?

I think no. seems it is just that too few are interested in the process ( maybe due to being uneconomical for most circumstances ). Also I suggest to search for DME to gasoline ( and maybe write an article on this)

What´s the difference between those two aircrafts, I know that Tu-155 run alternate fuel on one

of three engines, what about the A380?

It's faster to convert biomass to methanol via low-oxygen combustion, than it is to use fermentation to convert sugars to ethanol. Low-oxygen combustion also works with cellulose and lignin whereas efficient fermentation has not yet been invented. So this gas-to-liquids approach looks like the right solution, producing drop-in usable liquid fuels from both natural gas and biomass. What disadvantages does it have? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.183.110.93 (talk) 03:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

From the introduction: "Direct partial combustion has been demonstrated in nature but not replicated commercially. Technologies reliant on partial combustion have been commercialized mainly in regions where natural gas is inexpensive." Sounds like a contradiction to me. And just what does the term 'nature' mean here? 50.39.173.185 (talk) 14:01, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
