ABSTRACT:
A carbon monoxide- and zinc-containing gas is produced by the endothermic reaction of a carbonaceous material with zinc oxide. Zinc separated from the gas is in part reoxidized with air and in part reoxidized with H.sub.2 O to form zinc oxide both in exothermic reactions. Heat developed in these exothermic reoxidations is transferred to the endothermic CO-forming reaction so that the total system is thermally neutral, in other words neither generates nor consumes heat.
