Why are there carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced by incomplete combustion in a heating furnace? Thank you all!
Is it carbon monoxide reacting with water to produce hydrogen? Is it that the hydrogen in the gas hasn’t burned off, and there’s still excess hydrogen?
Semi-water gas, produced by the reaction with water
2CH4+O2=2CO+4H2 – this is the combustion of hydrocarbons at sub-stoichiometric conditions. At high temperatures, there are also the reactions CH4+H2O=CO+3H2 and CH4+CO2=2CO+2H2
I’m not very familiar with it; it seems like some information is missing at the beginning and end. Personal opinion. . .
Incomplete combustion of methane produces carbon monoxide, and hydrogen should be present in the evolved gas
Reasons: 1. Incomplete combustion of methane can result in the production of CO. 2. In addition to methane, gas composition also includes hydrogen and other gases
