Fuel gas consisting of a mixture of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen, made by passing steam
over red-hot coke. The gas was once the chief
source of hydrogen for chemical syntheses
such as the Haber process for making ammonia,
but has been largely superseded in this and
other reactions by hydrogen obtained from
natural gas.
