Hi Toby and All, Iron oxide and copper oxide,etc, tend to combine H2-CO into HC's and Nickel, Platinum, etc tend to break down HC's into H2, CO with correct temps, pressures.
It's a big subject. Read the things I said will be a good start. Google is your friend as I can't teach you here. Evberything I know and much more is on the Yahoo Gas_to_fuels list.

Are you saying that iron oxide is prefered? Also since Jim is suggesting using bottled CO and H2, are you saying the stainless/nickel will simply keep them in the same form and they will not combine (and in proper proportions), even if the temp and residency time is proper? Thanks for your information.
