Background: The study of the production and emission of greenhouse gases, including CO2 in the atmosphere, is one of the most important environmental issues and concerns of the international community. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of temperature and furnace fuel concentration changes on CO2 and CO production. Methods: In this study, using HSC Chemistry 6 software, the existing reactions for fuels used in the furnace, including CaCO3, MgCO3, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, were simulated. The concentrations of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced at different temperatures were investigated. Results: In the CaCO3 reaction, the temperature has a direct effect on carbon dioxide production but no effect on carbon monoxide production. In the MgCO3 reaction, the temperature has little effect on the production of both, and for the rest of the reactions, the effect of temperature depends on the molar composition and reaction conditions. Conclusion: In general, the results show that temperature affects the production of carbon dioxide and monoxide, so the emission of these gases to the environment can be reduced by adjusting the temperature of the furnace reactors.
