Producer gas (aka syngas or Synthesis gas) is a flammable mixture composed primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

Uses

Primary

As a fuel (fv=)

Secondary

Can be converted to methanol by self-hydrogenation using Raney nickel or urushibara nickel.

{{#Chem: 2H2(g) + CO(g) { =Ni} CH3OH)(v)}}

Natural Occurrence

Does not occur naturally under normal conditions./

Hazards

  • Asphyxiant

Production

Synthesis

It is produced by exposing hydrocarbons or solid carbon to steam at high temperatures:

  • {{#Chem: C(s) + H2O9(v) = CO + H2}}
  • {{#Chem: CH4(g) + H2O(v) = CO + 3H2}}

Testing

Storage

Disposal
