Recently, the authors described the catalytic elimination of nitrogen oxide from crm hydrogen [1], in the course of which a secondary contamination of gas with cark dioxide occurred in a plant in Slovakia. This fact stimulated the authors to study th undesirable reaction, i.e. oxidation of carbon monoxide by oxygen. The oxidation of carbon monoxide with respect to industrial usage has been stud...

We present the case of a 70 year-old man with carbon monoxide poisoning following a house fire. A significant smoking history and likely underlying chronic lung pathology complicated treatment, as due to symptomatic retention of carbon dioxide we were unable to use high-flow oxygen to facilitate the elimination of carbon monoxide. We suggest that patients with risk factors for obstructive lung ...

The physical adsorption of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases on the zigzag (5,0) carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen was investigated through the application of B3LYP/6-31G* at the level of theory on Gaussian 03 software. A variety of stable and high abundance structures of nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes were considered in order to study the interaction between the mentioned gases in ...

Airborne suspended particulate matter is an important marker of air quality. The term 'particulates' includes organic and inorganic matter, nitrogen compounds, sulphur compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), several heavy metals, and radionuclides. The health risks from the 'classic' pollutants sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulates have been comp...

The exposure of icy Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) by ionizing radiation was simulated in this case of exposing carbon monoxide-nitrogen (CO-N(2)) ices by energetic electrons. The radiation-induced chemical processing was monitored on-line and in situ via FTIR spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry. Besides the array of carbon oxides being reproduced as in neat irradiated carbon monoxide (CO...

The recent revival of interest in the use of 5% or 7% carbogen in the treatment of carbon-monoxide poisoning has prompted the description of four unusual cases in which gross hyperventilation occurred. The investigation of these cases was not very thorough, but such cases are seen so seldom that it is felt that even this incomplete report may be of value in stimulating further research. Hyperve...

Co-combustion of biosolids with coal or other biomass fuel can play a significant role in combustion facilities for energy production and waste management policy context. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the use of biosolids for co-combustion with wood pellets in a wood pellet stove. Fuel property, gas emissions and stove efficiency are compared. In regard...

Ignition studies of simulated syngas mixtures of hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) were performed using a rapid compression facility. Experiments were conducted using pressure time-histories and high-speed imaging to measure ignition delay times (sign), over a broad range of conditions relevant to current and proposed gas-turbine technolog...
