ABSTRACT:
Carbon is gasified with steam in the presence of a catalytic metal such as nickel by forming a dispersion of the metal on graphite wherein the average particle size of the dispersed metal is below about 100 A and preferably below 25 A in diameter and contacting the dispersed metal/graphite composite with steam at about 800.degree. C. or higher to gasify the graphite. This process will also gasify mixtures of graphite and amorphous carbon.
