Abstract
Disclosed is an improved CO.sub.2 acceptor process for the gasification of carbonaceous solids to produce H.sub.2, CO and CH.sub.4. In the process a hot calcined CO.sub.2 acceptor solid and a carbonaceous solid are contacted in countercurrent plug-like flow in a gasification vessel filled with packing or other suitable internals. The CO.sub.2 acceptor flows downwardly through the vessel in a fluidized state, countercurrent to entrained carbonaceous solid flowing upwardly through said vessel. The heat of gasification is provided by sensible heat transfer from the calcined CO.sub.2 acceptor solid to the carbonaceous solid and by the exothermic heat of reaction of the calcined CO.sub.2 acceptor with CO.sub.2 generated in the process.
