Description

Carbon monoxide, CO, is a colorless,odorless, toxic gas. It is soluble in alcohol and cuprix chloride solutions, but insoluble in water. Carbon monoxide is formed by the incomplete oxidation of carbon. It is found in mines and carexhaust. Carbon monoxide is used in metallurgy as a reducing agent in smelting operations, in the production of carbony is for the separation of various metals, as an ingredient in the synthesis of phosgene,and as an intermediate in the production of methanol.

Carbon monoxide Use and Manufacturing

Carbon monoxide is the main component of synthesis gas and various types of coal gas. It is an important raw material for organic chemical industry and the basis of C1 chemistry. It can produce a series of products, such as methanol, acetic acid, phosgene, etc., used in metallurgical industry reducing agent. At present, the industrialized C1 chemical production technologies mainly include: (1) Synthesis of acetic acid. (2) Synthesis of acetic anhydride.
