A note explaining the background of my query: Hydrogen represents a clean fuel. I am a biologist and I came across a lot of very fancy microbial procedures for obtaining hydrogen. One needs specific microbes for this purpose and keeping the microbial culture pure is a big hassle in most large scale microbiological reactions. Some very simple physico-chemical methods are available for obtaining hydrogen. I got interested in the one using charcoal, because it is based on a renewable resource. This is the explanation why I wanted to remove CO from coal gas. I thank the list members for the overwhelming response. Yours A.D.Karve *** Dr. A.D. Karve
