Description

Carbon Monoxide CAS NO 630-08-0 is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas with the chemical formula CO. It is a critical industrial chemical and a fundamental building block in organic synthesis, serving as a key one-carbon source. This product is essential for manufacturers in the chemical, metallurgical, and electronics industries, where it is used for producing bulk chemicals, refining metals, and fabricating semiconductors.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis: A primary feedstock for producing acetic acid, phosgene, methanol, and a wide range of aldehydes via hydroformylation (oxo process).
• Metallurgy: Used as a reducing agent in the extraction and purification of metals, particularly nickel in the Mond process.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Employed in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for depositing thin films and in wafer fabrication.
• Fuel & Energy: A major component of synthesis gas (syngas) used for generating hydrogen or liquid fuels via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
• Laboratory Research: Utilized as a reagent in organic and inorganic chemistry research for carbonylation reactions.
• Food Industry: Used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for preserving the color of fresh meat (where approved by relevant food safety authorities).

Quality Control

Our Carbon Monoxide is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC), to verify composition and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture, and other critical parameters are provided with each shipment to ensure compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, approved pressure cylinder or gas containment system, stored in a well-ventilated, cool, dry, and fire-resistant area away from ignition sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, cylinders must be secured to prevent tipping. Store away from oxidizers, strong acids, and halogens. Keep container valve closed when not in use.
