Is there really CO2 in the exhaust gases from cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis?

As the title suggests, I hope experts can provide an answer.
There definitely are, it’s just that there aren’t as many as those based on iron
The problem is that there’s really none when measured on-site :Q
It cannot be detected by chromatographic FID, but it can be detected by TCD.
Thank you for the reply from above. What is the estimated level of CO2 in cobalt-based exhaust gases? It can only be detected by TCD; FID cannot detect it.
I haven’t done this for a long time, so I can’t remember exactly; it’s probably below 1%. Since CO2 cannot burn, it cannot be measured using a chromatographic hydrogen flame FID detector; instead, a chromatographic thermal conductivity TCD detector is required.
Is the North Peak 3420A a FID or a TCD? Thank you!
I’ve never used this brand; the one that uses an inert gas along with hydrogen is a FID, while the one that uses an inert gas like N2 is a TCD
It’s usually present. I did it in the laboratory as well, and it was still there. . .
