Combustion of Carbon Monoxide
2CO + O2 → 2CO2
Visão geral
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.

Exemplo do cotidiano
The blue flame often seen at the top of a charcoal grill is carbon monoxide burning to carbon dioxide.
Importância industrial
A combustão de CO em catalisadores automóveis remove o tóxico monóxido de carbono dos gases de escape. Nos altos-fornos, a queima de CO no corpo superior fornece calor adicional.
