Abstract

A cyclic process for combustible gas comprising plant heating phases alternated with gas-making phases in which solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel is reacted with steam with or without air, and in which the carbon monoxide content is lowered by catalytic conversion with steam to carbon dioxide, after the gas has been partially cooled, and after the removal of dust and any liquids condensed by the cooling, but before removal of sulphur-containing compounds, and before its water vapour content has fallen below one volumetric equivalent of the carbon monoxide present, is characterized by using a catalyst, in the conversion of carbon monoxide, which in the presence of said minimum volumetric ratio of water vapour will hydrogenate oxygen and oxides of nitrogen and deleterious unsaturated hydrocarbons, and whose activity for the hydrogenation and conversion is promoted by the presence in the gas of sulphur-containing compounds. The cooling may be by direct quenching with water. The gas may also be passed into a gas holder after cooling and subjected to further cooling before conversion. The catalyst may be molybdenum, nickel, or cobalt oxides maintained at between 400 DEG and 600 DEG C. When the sulphur content of the gas before conversion is less than 100 grains per 100 cu. ft. of gas a second conversion stage using iron oxide catalyst at between 300 DEG and 450 DEG C. may be used. The fuels may be coal, coke, petroleum oil, or refinery gas.
