<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I posted earlier on this , its pretty tough to 

argue with a dictionary,  if this info is wrong please anyone call it out 

and site your source </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>first below, you will see a definition of syn- that 

i pasted</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>notice that "syngas" is coincidentally used as an 

example of how the prefix syn can be properly used in our language,  syn in 

front of gas as one word means synthetic gas, not synthesis gas.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could care less either way, I just like 

clarification. this seems very clear to me no matter how many peolpe are 

misusing this term.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>second you will see a definition of 

synthetic that i pasted,  the list of synonyms made me 

chuckle.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pretty clear wood gas can be used as synthesis gas, 

but it is not synthetic gas.  See definitions below.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>just wondering of all the better minds out there

    <A 

    href="mailto:gasification@bioenergylists.org">gasification@bioenergylists.org</A><BR><BR><BR>I 

    have followed the discussion on the definition of syngas (synthesis gas) 

    with great interest.  Although there are adamant views that syngas 

    should be narrowly defined, I have yet to see early references that back up 

    this claim.  The term "synthesis gas" appears to have gained popularity 

    during the '40's (possibly before) to describe the raw material for the FT 

    process; however, it quickly became the popular term for manufactured gas. 

     In the second edition of the iconic Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of 

    Chemical Technology, one is directed to the chapter on manufactured gas when 

    looking for synthesis gas (see vol. 10, p. 355, 1966), where it is mentioned 

    to produce synthetic chemicals from the water gas and water gas shift 

    reactions.  In Riegel's, Industrial Chemistry, 1962, a list of 

    synthesis gas methods are listed that mimic manufactured gas and includes 

    gasification with air.  And on p. 892, synthesis gas is simply defined 

    as the mixture of CO and H2.<BR><BR>I respect the opinion of the members of 

    this list, but could you supply early references to back up your 

    definitions.  I believe that this is an important issue to be cleared 

    up, as there is definite confusion on whether syngas should have a limited 

    definition or a broad definition.<BR><SPAN
