Abstract: With Fischer-Tropsch synthetic distillates as raw materials, a gradient cooling urea complexing method was used to separate n-alkanes to produce liquid paraffin from coal-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The results showed that when the temperature of the reaction system decreased from 45 °C to 25 °C at the rate of 1 °C/min, the mass ratio of urea isopropanol aqueous solution to oil was 10:1, and the mass ratio of urea, isopropanol and water was 38:40:22, the mass fraction of n-alkanes in heavy liquid paraffin was about 93% , and its properties could meet the requirements of NB/SH/T 0416-2014 quality standard. Compared with traditional cooling urea complexing method, gradient cooling urea complexing method could greatly improve the purity of liquid paraffin product and the recovery of n-alkanes.
