Consider the following reactions for oxidation of CO and CH4 to CO2. We wish to write out net reactions for CO and CH4 oxidation, which means there should be no NOx in the net reaction. O2 CH4 + OH à CH3O2 + H2O (1) CH3O2 + NO à CH3O + NO2 (2) CH3O + O2 à HCHO + HO2 (3) CH3O2 + HO2 à CH3OOH + O2 (4) CH3OOH + OH à HCHO + OH + H2O (5) O2 NO2 + hv à NO + O3 (6) HO2 + NO à OH + NO2 (7) HCHO + OH à CHO + H2O (8) CHO + O2 à CO + HO2 (9) O2 CO + OH à CO2 + HO2 (10) Consider a high NOx case.
