The benefits of nonuniform activity distributions (site density) or diffusive properties (porosity, tortuosity) within pellets on the rate of catalytic reactions were first suggested theoretically by Kasaoka and Sakata (Ml). This proposal followed the pioneering experimental work of Maatman and Prater (142). Models of nonuniform catalyst pellets were later extended to more general pellet geometries and activity profiles (143), and applied to specific catalytic reactions, such as SO2 and naphthalene oxidation (144-146). Previous experimental and theoretical studies were recently discussed in an excellent review by Lee and Aris (147). Proposed applications in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalysis have also been recently reported (50-55,148), but the general concepts have been widely discussed and broadly applied in automotive exhaust and selective hydrogenation catalysis (142,147,149).

Mossbauer spectroscopy is a specialist characterization tool in catalysis. Nevertheless, it has yielded essential information on a number of important catalysts, such as the iron catalyst for ammonia and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, as well as the CoMoS hydrotreating catalyst. Mossbauer spectroscopy provides the oxidation state, the internal magnetic field, and the lattice symmetry of a limited number of elements such as iron, cobalt, tin, iridium, ruthenium, antimony, platinum and gold, and can be applied in situ.
