Process of converting carbon monoxide into a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen

Claim 1

IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERTING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO A MIXTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND HYDROGEN; THE STEPS OF SATURATING IN A HUMIDIFYING STAGE OF A HIGH SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE CONVERTING SYSTEM A FIRST PREDETERMINED QUANTITY PER UNIT TIME OF CARBON MONOXIDE WITH HOT WATER, PARTLY TRANSFORMING WATER DISCHARGED AT A REDUCED TEMPERATURE FROM SAID HUMIDIFYING STAGE INTO STEAM, FEEDING THE UNTRANSFORMED REMAINDER OF SAID LAST-NAMED WATER INTO A FURTHER HUMIDIFYING STAGE OF A REDUCED SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE CONVERTING SYSTEM FOR SATURATING A SECOND PREDETERMINED QUANTITY PER UNIT TIME OF CARBON MONOXIDE WITH HOT WATER SO AS TO OBTAIN A MIXTURE OF SAID SECOND QUANTITY OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND WATER, ADDING SAID STEAM TO SAID CARBON MONOXIDE-WATER MIXTURE, PUMPING WATER DISCHARGED AT A STILL MORE REDUCED TEMPERATURE FROM SAID FURTHER HUMIDIFYING STAGE OF SAID REDUCED PRESSURE CONVERTING SYSTEM INTO ANOTHER HUMIDIFYING STAGE OF A PARTIALLY CONVERTING SYSTEM OPERATING AT APPROXIMATELY ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE FOR SATURATING A THIRD QUANTITY PER UNIT TIME OF CARBON MONOXIDE WITH WATER, PUMPING THE WATER DISCHARGED AT A RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE FROM SAID OTHER HUMIDIFYING STAGE OF SAID PARTIALLY CON VERTING SYSTEM INTO A DEHUMIDIFYING STAGE OF SAID HIGH PRESSURE CONVERTING SYSTEM FOR CONTACT THEREIN WITH THE RESPECTIVE FORMED CARBON DIOXIDE-HYDROGEN MIXTURE TO CONDENSE AND REMOVE MOISTURE FROM THE SAME, AND RETURNING THE RESULTANT HOT WATER DISCHARGED FROM SAID DEHUMIDIFYING STAGE TO SAID HUMIDIFYING STAGE OF SAID HIGH PRESSURE CONVERTING SYSTEM FOR REUSE THEREIN AS THE HOT WATER FOR SATRUATING SAID FIRST QUANTITY OF CARBON MONOXIDE.
