What happens when carbon dioxide reacts with carbon monoxide?

CO2 + CO* <===> COO* + CO It is possible that there is some oxygen exchange that takes place. read more

The resulting gas is called water gas and is a mixture of hydrogen (H 2, 50%), carbon monoxide (CO, 40%), carbon dioxide (CO 2, 5%), nitrogen and methane (N 2 + CH 4, 5%). It is an important feedstock gas for the chemical industry. read more

Carbon monoxide strips oxygen off metal oxides, reducing them to pure metal in high temperatures, forming carbon dioxide in the process. Carbon monoxide is not usually supplied as is, in gaseous phase, in the reactor, but rather it is formed in high temperature in presence of oxygen-carrying ore, carboniferous agent such as coke and high temperature. read more
