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.
