Crossword-Solution: GASIFICATION 12 letters, 12 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 18

Commercial carbide, however, is not pure; it usually contains some foreign matter which tints the residue remaining after gasification.

The apparatus described can, of course, be used when smaller samples of carbide only are available for gasification, but the results will be less trustworthy if much smaller quantities than those named are taken for the test.

But the process of gasification with ebullition goes on so quickly that the temperature of the water thus robbed of heat quickly falls to 0° C., and the remaining water freezes.

This gasification of the solid fuel in a blast furnace results, 1st, through combustion by the oxygen of the blast; 2nd, through contact with the incandescent ore (Fe_{2}O_{3} + C = 2 FeO + CO and FeO + C = Fe + CO); and 3rd, through the agency of CO_{2} either formed in the process of reduction or driven from the carbonates charged either as ore or flux.
