  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 .

    2, and coke (impure carbon) to produce P 4. The chemical equation for this process when starting with fluoroapatite, a common phosphate mineral, is: 4 Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 F + 18 SiO 2 + 30 C → 3 P 4 + 30 CO + 18 CaSiO 3 + 2 CaF 2. Of historic interest is the Leblanc process. A key step in this process is the reduction of sodium sulfate with coal: [3]

  4. Carbon monoxide poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning

    Carbon monoxide has a higher diffusion coefficient compared to oxygen, and the main enzyme in the human body that produces carbon monoxide is heme oxygenase, which is located in nearly all cells and platelets. [6] Most endogenously produced CO is stored bound to hemoglobin as carboxyhemoglobin. The simplistic understanding for the mechanism of ...

  6. Boudouard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction

    The Boudouard reaction is an important process inside a blast furnace. The reduction of iron oxides is not achieved by carbon directly, as reactions between solids are typically very slow, but by carbon monoxide. The resulting carbon dioxide undergoes a (reverse) Boudouard reaction upon contact with coke carbon.

  7. Carboxyhemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxyhemoglobin

    Later in 1854, Adrien Chenot similarly suggested carbon monoxide could remove oxygen from blood and be oxidized within the body to carbon dioxide. [4] The mechanism for carbon monoxide poisoning in the context of carboxyhemoglobin formation is widely credited to Claude Bernard whose memoirs beginning in 1846 and published in 1857 notably ...

    If you believe you have been exposed to carbon monoxide or are at risk of CO poisoning, Bruccoleri says you can call the Tennessee Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. The Center is staffed 24/7, 365 ...

  9. Fischer–Tropsch process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer–Tropsch_process

    The Fischer–Tropsch process (FT) is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, known as syngas, into liquid hydrocarbons. These reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts , typically at temperatures of 150–300 °C (302–572 °F) and pressures of one to several tens of atmospheres.
