NOVELTY - Gasification of carbonaceous material to produce raw syngas, involves: (a) contacting carbonaceous material with first molecular oxygen-containing gas and carbon di-oxide (CO2) in gasification zone (143) to gasify portion of carbonaceous material and to produce first gaseous product; (b) contacting remaining portion of carbonaceous material with second molecular oxygen-containing gas and CO2 in burn-up zone (500) to produce second gaseous product and solid ash comprising carbon; and (c) combining first and second gaseous products to produce raw syngas.    USE - For gasification of a carbonaceous material (such as carbonaceous industrial liquid recycle, carbonaceous municipal solid waste, carbonaceous urban waste, carbonaceous agricultural material, carbonaceous forestry material, carbonaceous wood waste, carbonaceous construction material, carbonaceous vegetative material, and carbonaceous petrochemical co-products) to produce a raw syngas comprising carbon monoxide (claimed) and hydrogen.    ADVANTAGE - The method provides carbon monoxide (CO)/carbon di-oxide (CO2) molar ratio in the raw and hot syngases of greater than 0.75 (preferably greater than 1), ratio of carbon content of solid ash to carbon content of carbonaceous material feed of less than 0.1 (preferably less than 0.05, especially less than 0.01), and carbon content of the solid ash of less than 10 (preferably less than 5) wt.%; and provides raw syngas having a tar equivalent content below 10 parts per million (ppm).    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Gasification of a carbonaceous material to produce a raw syngas, involves: (a) contacting the carbonaceous material with a first molecular oxygen-containing gas and optionally with at least one steam and carbon di-oxide (CO2) in a gasification zone (143) to gasify a portion of the carbonaceous material and to produce a first gaseous product; (b) contacting a remaining portion of the carbonaceous material with a second molecular oxygen-containing gas and optionally with at least one steam and CO2 in a burn-up zone (500) to gasify an additional portion of the carbonaceous material and to produce a second gaseous product and a solid ash comprising carbon; and (c) combining the first gaseous product and the second gaseous product to produce the raw syngas, where carbon monoxide (CO)/CO2 molar ratio in the raw syngas is greater than 0.75 and ratio of carbon content of solid ash to carbon content of carbonaceous material feed is less than 0.1. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) gasification of a carbonaceous material to produce a hot syngas (405), involving: (a') carrying out step (a); (b') carrying out step (b); (c') carrying out step (c) to produce a raw syngas comprising CO, CO2 and tar; and (d') contacting the raw syngas with a third molecular oxygen containing gas in a tar destruction zone (400) to produce the hot syngas, where the CO/CO2 molar ratio in the hot syngas is greater than 0.75 and ratio of carbon content of solid ash to carbon content of carbonaceous material feed is less than 0.1; and    (2) a gasification apparatus (13) comprising: gasification zone that includes at least one hearth (110, 120, 130, 140, 150); a burn-up zone continuous with the gasification zone, the burn-up zone including at least one hearth, where the gasification and burn-up zones are effective for providing a raw syngas having a CO/CO2 molar ratio greater than 0.75 and ratio of carbon content of solid ash to carbon content of carbonaceous material feed is less than 0.1; and a tar destruction zone effective for receiving the raw syngas from the gasification and burn-up zones through a connecting zone.
