Dr Karve wrote Quote --------. When hot charcoal is treated with steam, it produces coal gas, consisting of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. We have used this reaction in an experimental stove, in which the coal gas is used as fuel. Can anybody suggest a simple method of removing carbon monoxide from coal gas? Unquote
Is this reaction sustainable or will the charcoal fire get extinguished due to prolonged passage of steam? The answer to this question should determine the continuation of the discussion.
