Abstract

Isotope tracing of alkene readsorption has been used to examine reversibility in the growth of higher hydrocarbons in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Some reversibility is indicated, but the degree is insufficient to change previous conclusions from isotope transient studies; namely that the surface concentrations of the growing hydrocarbon oligomers during the reaction are very small.
