 1771a.    KINI, K. A., BASAK, N. G., AND LAHIRI, A.  Adsorption of Hydrogen and of Carbon Monoxide on an Iron-Copper-Magnesia Catalyst.  Jour. Sci. Ind. Research (India), vol. 10B, No. 10, 1951, p. 243-245; Chim. et Ind., vol. 67, 1952, p. 790.

          Adsorption of H2 and CO on a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst (Fe-Cu-MgO, 80:5:15) was determined between 99° and 249°.  The results show that synthesis of hydrocarbons is realized by chemical adsorption.  In order for the synthesis to occur under the best conditions, it is essential that chemical adsorption of CO should exceed that of H2.
