CO Combustion Reaction: What's the Chemical Reaction?

[btk87]

TL;DR Summary

Looking for byproduct of burning CO

First time poster and also chemistry layman. I am starting on a new job building a carbon monoxide boiler in an oil refinery. As the construction contractor, we don't get into the operation/process of the equipment we build.

I have found online that CO becomes combustible at around 1400F. However, I haven't been able to find the chemical reaction for this process, and what the byproduct is.

Is anyone familiar with this reaction or can anyone point me to the correct literature?

Carbon monoxide burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. I’m not sure what other information you want, but googling carbon monoxide combustion is probably a good start. Feel free to come back with more specific questions.

I hope you are using nickel combustion chambers or ceramic ones as iron and its various steels react with CO at elevated temperatures. Even stainless reacts!
