Popis: Stepwise switches from a 12 CO H 2 to a 13 CO H 2 feed and vice versa have been utilized to obtain transient kinetic information without disturbing the steady-state catalysis. In the context of methanation and Fischer-Tropsch catalysis it emerges that of the large carbidic overlayer which develops only a small part belongs to reaction intermediates proper. Under the prevailing conditions the fractional coverage in growing chains is low and, consequently, the chain growth relatively fast i.e., not rate-determining. Details in the relaxation behavior are suggestive of intermediates that are carbidic in nature.
