Description
This dataset is a market dataset, representing the consumption market of the region; the dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumer end, and the transport service is calculated according to the transport situation of this product in this region. Carbon monoxide is widely used in fields such as metal smelting, chemical synthesis and industrial fuel; Carbon monoxide is modelled as a pure substance; when modelling this substance the user needs to add a solvent of their choice in the model; the dataset contains the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy, waste and atmospheric emissions of the production process, and infrastructure such as the manufacture of production equipment and the construction of plant buildings is not included within the dataset boundary; the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources; the production activities of this product include gas making (coke oxidation and reduction) and impurity removal and refining (dust removal, desulfurisation, dehydration, decarbonisation, etc.).
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include processes such as gas production (coke oxidation and reduction) and impurity removal and refining (dust removal, desulfurization, dehydration, decarbonization, etc.).
Process Description
Carbon monoxide has the chemical formula CO, CAS number 630-08-0, and is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas at normal temperature and pressure. It is difficult to dissolve in water, its density is slightly less than that of air, its chemical properties are active, and it is toxic, flammable and reducible. It is extremely toxic. After inhalation, it will quickly combine with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, blocking oxygen transportation and causing hypoxia in the human body. The gas is flammable and explosive. When the volume fraction of mixed with air reaches 12.5%-74.2%, it will easily explode when exposed to fire. Carbon monoxide is mainly used in metal smelting (such as reducing iron ore to prepare iron), chemical synthesis (producing chemical products such as methanol and formic acid), and can also be used as fuel (such as heating industrial furnaces).

Technology comment
The coke gasification method is the traditional mainstream technology for preparing high-purity carbon monoxide. It is produced through the gasification reaction of coke with an oxygen-enriched gas. After purification, it can meet the needs of fine chemicals. It currently accounts for more than 60% of the domestic high-purity carbon monoxide market. This dataset represents this mainstream technology: using coke as raw material, with oxygen and carbon dioxide as gasification agents, crude coal gas with high CO content is continuously prepared under high temperature and pressure, and refined carbon monoxide is obtained through desulfurization, decarbonization, dehydration, dust removal, etc. The chemical reaction equations involved are mainly: C + O2 = CO2; CO2 + C = 2CO.
