This patent describes a process for the production of a gas consisting of carbon monoxide by reaction of a carbonaceous reactant with oxygen. The improvement consists of charging a stream of oxygen-containing gas to a reaction zone, charging a stream of carbonaceous reactant to said reaction zone annularly about said oxygen stream to surround said oxygen and in sufficient amount to react with substantially all of the oxygen with the formation of completely oxidized reaction products, and charging an additional stream of carbonaceous reactant to said reaction zone annularly about the zone of reaction of oxygen with the first steam of carbonaceous reactant. This is brought into intimate contact with said reaction products immediately following their formation to react therewith and form a final product gas comprising carbon monoxide. The resultant product gas is withdrawn from the reaction zone.
