  2. Wood–Ljungdahl pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood–Ljungdahl_pathway

    Two specific enzymes participate on the carbon monoxide side of the pathway: CO dehydrogenase and acetyl-CoA synthase. The former catalyzes the reduction of the CO 2 and the latter combines the resulting CO with a methyl group to give acetyl-CoA. [2] [1] [3] Some anaerobic bacteria use the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway in reverse to break down acetate.

  3. Photoelectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectrochemical...

    Photoelectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, also known as photoelectrolysis of carbon dioxide, is a chemical process whereby carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons by the energy of incident light. This process requires catalysts, most of which are semiconducting materials.

  4. Photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    Common products include formic acid, carbon monoxide, and methanol. Note that light absorption and catalytic reduction may occur at the same metal center or on different metal centers. That is, a photosensitizer and catalyst may be tethered through an organic linkage that provides for electronic communication between the species.

  5. Boudouard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction

    The Boudouard reaction is an important process inside a blast furnace. The reduction of iron oxides is not achieved by carbon directly, as reactions between solids are typically very slow, but by carbon monoxide. The resulting carbon dioxide undergoes a (reverse) Boudouard reaction upon contact with coke carbon.

  6. Carbonylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonylation

    In chemistry, carbonylation refers to reactions that introduce carbon monoxide (CO) into organic and inorganic substrates. Carbon monoxide is abundantly available and conveniently reactive, so it is widely used as a reactant in industrial chemistry. [1] The term carbonylation also refers to oxidation of protein side chains.

  7. Ground-level ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_ozone

    The chemical reactions involved in ground-level ozone formation are a series of complex cycles in which carbon monoxide and VOCs are oxidised to water vapour and carbon dioxide. The reactions involved in this process are illustrated here with CO but similar reactions occur for VOC as well.

  9. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom connected by a triple bond. It is the simplest carbon oxide. In coordination complexes, the carbon monoxide ligand is called carbonyl. It is ...
