IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERTING SOLID CARBONACEOUS ASH-CONTAINING MATERIALS INTO GASES CONTAINING CARBON MONOXIDE, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES FORMING A SUSPENSION OF FINELY DIVIDED CARBONACEOUS ASH-CONTAINING SOLIDS IN A GASEOUS MEDIUM CONTAINING OXYGEN IN ADMIXTURE WITH A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF STEAM, CARBON DIOXIDE AND MIXTURES THEREOF, FORCING THE RESULTING SUSPENSION AT A HIGH LINEAR VELOCITY TANGENTIALLY INTO A LOWER PART OF AN UPRIGHT EXTENDED CONVERSION ZONE HAVING A CIRCULAR HORIZONTAL CROSS-SECTION AND THEREBY CAUSING VIOLENT AGITATION OF SAID SUSPENSION IN SAID CONVERSION ZONE, MAINTAINING IN SAID CONVERSION ZONE A PRESSURE BETWEEN ATMOSPHERIC AND ABOUT 400 LBS. PER SQUARE INCH AND A CONVERSION TEMPERATURE ABOVE THE FUSION POINT OF THE ASH CONSTITUENTS OF THE CARBONACEOUS SOLIDS IN THE RANGE FROM 2100 TO 2500* F., PASSING THE INTRODUCED SUSPENSION UPWARDLY THROUGH THE CONVERSION ZONE, PROVIDING A GRADUALLY INCREASING CONVERSION SPACE FOR SAID UPWARDLY PASSING SUSPENSION, THEREBY GRADUALLY REDUCING THE LINEAR VELOCITY OF THE
