Farzaneh:
What specific gases (vapors) are you proposing or debating to liquefy?
Without you identifying your subject, other than in generalities, you can't obtain an answer. The generality is too broad: are you talking of air liquefaction? of hydrocarbon liquefaction? of refrigerants? of Chlorine? of Bromine? of Fluorine? etc., etc......

Dear Farzaneh
Gas To Liquid plants belong to the new untested technology sector. I had just read that ,the first major plant (that is the heading) is getting shape in Ras Laffan, Qatar. Built for the SA gaint ORYX by Technip, Italy. It generates high quality Diesel and Naphta directly from Natural gas.
ORYX web page can give you all the info about this technology.
Good luck

mohamad_farzaneh:
If you mean converting natural gas to hydrocarbon liquids when you ask about Gas To Liquids (GTL), the the Sasol Group of companies (a South African organization) are the leaders in that field. You can learn quite a bit by visiting these 2 web sites:
www.sasolchevron.com and www.sasol.com
You can also get more information by making a Google search.

Mohamad, Ramohan et al.:
GTL is the conversion of CO to hydrocarbons. Two reactions are involved:
1- methane reforming with steam to CO and hydrogen
2- Fischer-Tropsch reaction to "polymerize" the CO to longer aliphatic molecules
The chemistry dates back to before WWII with early work by German chemists. The german have been able o make gasoline despite the allies'oil embargo thanks to this technology. Sasol was the only company who continued this route (also because of the embargo imposed on South Africa). There is a substantial body of research that continues today. Later research involves reactor design to provide heat to the highly endothermic reforming reaction.

Vinh
