  2. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    The blast furnace process is a typical example of a process of reduction of metal from ore with carbon monoxide. Likewise, blast furnace gas collected at the top of blast furnace, still contains some 10% to 30% of carbon monoxide, and is used as fuel on Cowper stoves and on Siemens-Martin furnaces on open hearth steelmaking .

  3. Methanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanation

    The first commercial synthetic gas plant opened in 1984 and is the Great Plains Synfuel plant in Beulah, North Dakota. [1] It is still operational and produces 1500 MW worth of SNG using coal as the carbon source. In the years since its opening, other commercial facilities have been opened using other carbon sources such as wood chips. [1]

  4. Direct reduced iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_reduced_iron

    Direct reduction processes can be divided roughly into two categories: gas-based and coal-based. In both cases, the objective of the process is to remove the oxygen contained in various forms of iron ore (sized ore, concentrates, pellets, mill scale, furnace dust, etc.) in order to convert the ore to metallic iron, without melting it (below 1,200 °C (2,190 °F)).

  5. Gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification

    The gasification process occurs as the char reacts with steam and carbon dioxide to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen, via the reactions C + H 2 O → H 2 + CO and C + CO 2 → 2CO. In addition, the reversible gas phase water-gas shift reaction reaches equilibrium very fast at the temperatures in a gasifier.

  6. Syngas fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas_fermentation

    In this process, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, known as syngas, is used as carbon and energy sources, and then converted into fuel and chemicals by microorganisms. [ 1 ] The main products of syngas fermentation include ethanol , butanol , acetic acid , butyric acid , and methane . [ 2 ]

  7. Blast furnace gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace_gas

    The rest amounts to around 22 vol% carbon monoxide, which has a fairly low heating value already and 5 vol% hydrogen. [3] Per ton of steel produced via the blast furnace route, 2.5 to 3.5 tons of blast furnace gas is produced. It is commonly used as a fuel within the steel works, but it can be used in boilers and power plants equipped

  8. Industrial gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_gas

    The other principal production technology in the industry is Reforming. Steam reforming is a chemical process used to convert natural gas and steam into a syngas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide with carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Partial oxidation and autothermal reforming are similar processes but these also require oxygen from an ASU.

  9. Water gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gas

    Hydrocarbonate is an archaic term for water gas composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated by passing steam through glowing coke.Hydrocarbonate was classified as a factitious air and explored for therapeutic properties by some eighteenth-century physicians, including Thomas Beddoes and James Watt.
