Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Investigation of the Partitioning of Dissociated H2 and D2 on Activated Cobalt Catalysts

This work was to determine if there is an isotopic effect for adsorption for either H₂ or D₂ on the cobalt metal surface of a Fischer–Tropsch catalyst. Results indicate no significant isotopic partitioning on the cobalt surface and should not interfere with measurements of the IKIE during CO hydrogenation.
