Combustion of Carbon Monoxide

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

نظرة عامة

Carbon monoxide burns in air with a characteristic blue flame to produce carbon dioxide. This reaction completes the oxidation of carbon that was left incomplete in the initial CO formation. CO combustion is important in blast furnaces and catalytic converters.

مثال من الحياة اليومية

The blue flame often seen at the top of a charcoal grill is carbon monoxide burning to carbon dioxide.

الأهمية الصناعية

CO combustion in catalytic converters removes toxic carbon monoxide from car exhaust. In blast furnaces, CO burning in the upper shaft provides additional heat.
