This report has been extensively reviewed within Franklin Associates and has undergone partial critical review by ACC Plastics Division members and is available at: www.americanchemistry.com. Quantities may vary slightly between the reference to main source and and this module due to rounding. Important note: although most of the data in the US LCI database has undergone some sort of review, the database as a whole has not yet undergone a formal validation process.

Quality network: 30Representative of North America (US and Canada)The raw materials necessary for the production of carbon monoxide are the gases resulting from steam reformation, as in the production of synthesis gas for ammonia manufacture, or from partial combustion of hydrocarbons. The feed gas must be stripped of carbon dioxide by scrubbing with ethanolamine solution and then passed through a molecular sieve to remove traces of carbon dioxide and water. Carbon monoxide and unconverted methane are condensed from the gas mixture and separated by lowering the pressure to remove entrained gases. The methane is recycled and the carbon monoxide comes out as a product after evaporation, warming, and compression.Unit process, single operationAttributionalnone0.10less than 10%The energy and emissions data for carbon monoxide are from secondary sources and estimates.
