A series of low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) experiments using a wide range of H sub(2)/CO/CO sub(2) syngas mixtures have been performed to provide further insight into the effect of the CO sub(2) on an iron-based catalyst during FTS. In comparison with CO hydrogenation, the reactivit...
