Abstract
Fe/Al2O3, either alone or with K, Mo or Mn additive were studied by absorption NGR spectroscopy in situ. The reduction of the bimetallic systems did not induce alloying. Desorption of hydrogen resulted in oxidizing Feo into Fe2+, as an effect of a redox equilibrium involving properties of alumina. The decrease or growth of iron metal, carbides and ionic species during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are consistent with a mechanism involving a dissociative chemisorption of CO. It is thought that bulk carbide is not an intermediate in the reaction.
