Reaction C+H₂O=CO+H₂ is carried out with H₂O in the liquid state, thus < the critical temperature, and at a pressure> the vapor tension at this temperature. The reaction preformed in the presence of finely divided metals and metal oxides. The conversion is complete, and the process is well suited for NH₈ synthesis.
