[Gasification] eliminating carbon monoxide from coal gas

--------. When hot charcoal is treated with steam, it produces coal
gas, consisting of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. We have
used this reaction in an experimental stove, in which the coal gas is
used as fuel.   Can anybody suggest a simple method of removing carbon
monoxide from coal gas?

Is this reaction sustainable or will the charcoal fire get extinguished due
to prolonged passage of steam?

The answer to this question should determine the continuation of the
discussion.
