What is wrong in this? Is it temperature? I think we use air also to speed up the reaction.

The process used the water-gas shift reaction:

CO + H2O -> CO2 + H2.

The process was discovered by passing high-pressure steam over hot coal.

Bosch Process A German chemist Bosch, prepared hydrogen on a large scale using inexpensive raw materials such as water and coal by passing steam over red-hot coke (carbon) at about 1000°C a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen known as water gas is produced carbon monoxide is separated from the mixture by converting it to carbon dioxide.

Because of mond gas has obtained by passing air and a large amount of steam over waste coal at 650 degrees.

It is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and is made by passing steam over incandescent coke.

Definitions of incandescent : Emitting light as a result of being heated.

"plumes of incandescent liquid rock"

Synonyms: white-hot, red-hot, burning, fiery, blazing, ablaze, aflame, glowing, aglow, radiant, bright, brilliant, luminous, sparkling, fervid, lucent, igneous

Examples of incandescent : The metal flakes heat up until they are incandescent and shine brightly or, at a high enough temperature, actually burn.

As it burns with a blue flame' it is also known as blue water gas.

The water gas is usually converted into carburetted ( enriched) water gas by passing it through a carburetter into which a gas oil is sprayed . It is usually, mixed with coal gas to form town gas the water gas is used in furnaces and for welding.

Water gas is formed by the steam passing through the red hot coal or coke in the furnace and it reacts to each other and to form a gas known as water gas. The gas consists of CO & H2O.

It forms the water gas this is widely used in the industrial applications for making steels&cast irons it is the by product of getting iron from ore in blast furnaces. It is poisonous gas cannot breath.

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen combination gives water gas at 147 KJ. It is also called as synthesis gas. It is a poisonous gas.

Dear friends.

The Water Gas is made by passing steam over a coke, containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen, a highly flammable and poisonous gas in industry it is used in production of steel.

Water gas is nothing but reaction between H2O and carbon at 147 kJ.

What is actual temperature required?
