Carbon Monoxide is produced on a large scale in industry, in combination with hydrogen, by reforming hydrocarbons, generally natural gas.
Industrial Use
- Carbon monoxide and synthesis gas are the raw materials in the polycarbonate, polyurethane and oxy-alcohol manufacture based on SMR and ATR processes or on partial oxidation.
- Carbon monoxide is also used in the manufacture of metal carbonyls and in calibration of gas mixtures for petrochemical industry, environmental emission monitoring, industrial hygiene monitors and trace impurity analyzers.
