Gas-to-liquid synfuel production can produce diesel, naptha and paraffin. the formation of these products usually involves the fischer-tropsch process the removal of carbon atoms from the fuel adding highly acidic substances such as hydrochloric acid the production of radioactive waste that must be stored in protective barrels

The formation of these products usually involves THE FISCHER-TROPSCH PROCESS.

The Fischer-Tropsch process refers to a series of chemical reactions which convert hydrogen and carbon monoxide into liquid hydrocarbons in the presence of metal catalysts. The temperature utilized in the process is normally between 150 and 300 degree Celsius. The techniques was developed by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in 1925. The technique is usually used to turn coal into liquid and to turn gases to liquid fuels.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
