title: Electrochemically-controlled generation of small amounts of carbon monoxide.
abstract: The generation of carbon monoxide is based on oxidation of carbon at a temperature of 920-950 degrees by electrolytically generated oxygen. The rate of production of CO is a linear function of the oxygen generating current over a range of 5-60 mA and corresponds to the theoretical value. By the method described it is possible to obtain CO concentrations from 0.0075 to 2.5% in an inert gas (nitrogen, argon and helium).
