How BC researcher Jier Huang is using tiny molecules to help solve one of the world’s biggest problems—climate change.

causing asphyxiation and oxygen deprivation. This process can occur slowly or all at once, depending on the carbon monoxide ...

As a result, they quickly undergo chemical reactions that turn them into less harmful gases. For example, carbon monoxide (CO), and oxygen (O2) combine to form carbon dioxide (CO2), which isn’t as ...

Step 1 – Hot air (oxygen ... oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide The blast furnace is a continuous process (ie reactants are added constantly so that the reaction does not stop).
