       Describes gas-making processes that depend upon heat and those which involve reactions of hot C with steam and CO2, such as water gas, producer, gas, oil, and synthesis gas.  Discusses the thermodynamic data connected with these reactions and the physical chemistry thereof.  Some results of commercial plant tests at Trail, B. C., on an O2-blown gas producer utilizing anthracite coal are presented.  Two new gasification processes of major interest, the Lurgi and the Winkler, are given detailed consideration.
