The present invention relates to a continuous separation and discharge apparatus and method of solid catalysts and liquid products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions, and more particularly, to a continuous separation and discharge apparatus and method of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions involving the conversion of synthetic gas into synthetic oil, by which products of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis including wax, as a long-chain hydrocarbon, can be stably obtained by continuously separating the products from a slurry comprising solid catalyst particles and the products using periodic pulses of a feeding gas and discharging the products through a lower portion of a reactor. Provided is a continuous separation and discharge apparatus of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions including: a level sensing device which is installed at an upper portion of a reactor and detects the slurry-level of reactants; a solid catalyst/product separation device and a discharge device which are installed at a lower portion of the reactor and separate and discharge liquid products from a mixed slurry in the reactor; and a control unit which receives a signal from the level sensing device to open and close the discharge device, wherein the separation device filters the solid catalysts, and the discharge device continuously discharges the products separated from the solid catalysts through the lower portion of the reactor by the amount of the synthesized products measured by a level sensing device.

1. A slurry bubble column reactor for continuous separation and discharge of solid catalysts and liquid products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions by which synthetic oil is synthesized from a feeding gas, the apparatus comprising: a slurry-level sensing device which is installed at an inner portion of a reactor and detects the level of slurry-phase reactants,wherein the slurry-level sensing device comprises one of a radar or ultrasonic wave level sensor and a thermocouple, or both of the level sensors and the thermocouple, wherein the thermocouple detects the slurry-level of reactants by the temperature difference between the slurry-phase reactants and gas-phase space filled with tail gases;a solid catalyst/liquid product separation device and a discharge device which are installed at a lower portion of the reactor and separate and discharge solid catalysts and liquid products mixed in the reactor;a control unit which receives a signal from the slurry-level sensing device to open and close the discharge device,wherein the separation device filters the solid catalysts, and the discharge device continuously discharges the liquid products separated from the solid catalysts through the lower portion of the reactor based on the level of slurry-phase reactants detected by the slurry-level sensing device, wherein the solid catalysts are filtered by a metal sintering filter disposed at the lower portion of the slurry bubble column reactor, andwherein the metal sintering filter has a pore size of about 5 to about 15 μm and withstands high temperature and high pressure; anddifferential pressure sensors which are installed at upper and lower portions of the metal sintering filter and detect a pressure drop occurring at the upper and lower portions of the separation device, and a filter restoration device which provides periodic gas pulses to the separation device using a feeding gas to restore the separation device, to which the solid catalysts are fused or deposited, back-flushed to an initial state,wherein the control unit receives a signal from the differential pressure sensor to control operation of the filter restoration device when the pressure drop is increased to a predetermined level. 2. The slurry bubble column reactor for continuous separation and discharge of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions of claim 1, wherein the separation device is a filter for separating solid catalysts and liquid products having a uniform pore size. 3. The slurry bubble column reactor for continuous separation and discharge of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions of claim 2, wherein the separation device is a planar filter or a cartridge filter having a relatively larger separation area compared to the planar filter. 4. The slurry bubble column reactor for continuous separation and discharge of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions of claim 3, wherein the discharge device comprises an outlet disposed at a lower portion of the reactor, a product discharge fluid flow control valve, which opens and closes the outlet, and a drive unit controlling the opening and closing operations of the fluid flow control valve, wherein the drive unit is a motor or a cylinder. 5. The slurry bubble column reactor for continuous separation and discharge of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions of claim 1, wherein the filter restoration device comprises a gas distributor having a plurality of nozzles, a gas injection fluid flow control valve supplying the feeding gas to the gas distributor, and a drive unit controlling the opening and closing operations of the gas injection fluid flow control valve, for uniformly injecting the feeding gas into the reactor and not inhibiting the solid catalyst/product mixture from being injected into the separation device, wherein the drive unit is a motor or a cylinder. 6. The slurry bubble column reactor for continuous separation and discharge of solid catalysts and products for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions of claim 5, wherein the gas distributor comprises a tubular cylinder in which a gas flows, wherein a plurality of rows of the tubular cylinder are arranged in parallel or the tubular cylinder radially extends from the center of the gas distributor.
