High reactivity of iron carbides enhances the Fischer–Tropsch reaction rate on supported iron catalysts. Highly dispersed carbide is easily hydrogenated to methane in a hydrogen atmosphere with subsequent regeneration in the presence of CO. Carbon atoms in iron carbide are involved in the initiation of chain growth in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis.
