The disappearance of hydrogen in the presence of iron‐alkali catalysts, sources of K+ions and a synthetic spodumene mixture, a source of Li+ions, was investigated. In these experiments, like those previously reported by the authors, no gas phase reaction was detected which could be attributed to the bombardment of hydrogen by positive ions with speeds up to 565 volts. It was concluded that all cleanup effects could be accounted for by reactions on or within the materials used as ion sources.
