Popis: Sintered, fine-grained ferric oxide (Fe2O3) with a porosity of 11.4 pct was used as a solid material in the present investigation of the rate of carbon monoxide decomposition in the presence of water vapor at temperatures of 430, 475, 513, 550 and 590‡C. It was found that small additions of H2O markedly enhance the rate of carbon deposition and that there is an optimum content of H2O in CO-H2O mixtures which provides the maximum rate of carbon deposition at each temperature. According to SEM observations of the reaction products, water vapor affects significantly not only the rate of the process but also the structure of the carbon deposited.
