Magnetite catalyst intrinsic kinetics

Huff, G. A., Jr., and Satterfield, C. N. 1984. Intrinsic kinetics of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on a reduced fused-magnetite catalyst. Ind. Eng. Chem. Process Des. Dev. 23 696-705. 

Under intrinsic-kinetic conditions the carbon number distribution of products from a reduced fused magnetite catalyst Is not significantly affected by wide variations In H, and CO concentration and mass-transfer resistances have no noticeable effect, as would be expected. To the extent that other selectlvltles, such as oxygenate product composition, are governed by H and CO concentrations In the liquid, we would similarly expect to observe effects caused by mass transfer, although this was not done here. Likewise with other catalysts, such as cobalt, which appear to be more sensitive to reaction conditions and to secondary reactions, more marked effects from significant mass transfer reactions are anticipated.
