Rhizomes » Issue 11/12 (Fall 2005/Spring 2006) » Paul Hurley Paul Hurley [1] Since August 2003, Paul Hurley has been making an ongoing series of becomings-invertebrate; public and private actions performed for live audiences as well as for camera and video, and presented at galleries, festivals and performance events internationally.
What follows is a selection of texts and documentation of some of these performed actions. Sellsheet_09_mtg_brochure.pdf (application/pdf Object) Introduction MTG. Fischer–Tropsch process. The Fischer–Tropsch process is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons.
It was first developed by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch at the "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Kohlenforschung" in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany in 1925. The process, a key component of gas to liquids technology, produces a synthetic lubrication oil and synthetic fuel, typically from coal, natural gas, or biomass.[1] The Fischer–Tropsch process has received intermittent attention as a source of low-sulfur diesel fuel and to address the supply or cost of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. [edit] The Fischer–Tropsch process involves a series of chemical reactions that produce a variety of hydrocarbons, ideally having the formula (CnH(2n+2)).
The more useful reactions produce alkanes as follows:
