CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)

Carbon Monoxide gas is formed from the combustion of a carbon atom with an oxygen atom. It is not only highly flammable, it also very hazardous since it is very toxic and odorless. It cannot sustain life and is produced from incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen.

It is used in large quantities to produce various intermediary organic chemicals, such as acetic acids, isocyanates, formic acid, and also certain polymers such as polycarbonates and polyketones.
