Process for water-gas generation
This patent presents a process for producing gas mixtures containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The process consists of passing a stream of finely-divided carbonaceous solid material into an initial water gas reaction zone, forming a fluidized mass of solids therein. Then subjecting said mass to a gasification reaction with steam at temperatures of from about 1500/sup 0/ to 2000/sup 0/F to produce a gas rich in H/sub 2/ and CO. Then withdrawing said gas from said water gas reaction zone, passing it over a char with a high surface area, passing at least a portion of said char into a catalyst impregnation zone, impregnating in said zone said char with a catalyst promoting gasification of carbon, recycling said char to said water gas reaction zone and recovering a gas rich in H/sub 2/ and CO from said last-named zone.
