A method of gasifying carbon (C) in the form of coal, hydrocarbons and/or hydrocarbon compounds, comprising the steps of into a reactor vessel holding a molten iron bath to inject carbon, oxygen and iron oxides beneath the surface of the molten iron bath, where the iron oxides constitute a coolant and where carbon is injected in a stoichiometric excess relative to oxygen included in the bath in the form of oxides, and where the molten iron bath has such a carbon content that it solves-in carbon. According to the invention, the reactor vessel is caused to have an inner total pressure of 2 to 50 bar, preferably 4 to 10 bar. Hereby the gas production and the production of pig iron increase. Furthermore, the dust formation and the lining wear are reduced substantially. |
