NOVELTY - The apparatus comprises a crucible (1) containing molten metal (2), an exhaust pipe connected to the crucible for discharge of syngas, a unit for cooling the syngas connected to the exhaust pipe to form a sealed unit with the crucible, a tapping unit for discharge of slag from the crucible, induction coil provided for inductively heating molten metal disposed within the crucible, and a power supply circuit for energizing the induction coil with an alternating current (AC) power with a pre-determined waveform.    USE - The apparatus is useful for gasifying a feed fuel material containing carbon into syngas under a total pressure which exceeds atmospheric pressure, where feed fuel material includes coal including anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous and lignite, biomass including plant and/or animal matter or plant and/or animal derived matter, municipal solid waste, refuse-derived fuel, industrial waste, sewage, raw sewage, peat, scrap rubber, shale ore, tar sands, crude oil, natural gas, blast furnace off-gas, flue gas exhaust e.g. nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds or soot, low ash or no ash polymers, hydrocarbon-based polymeric materials e.g. thermoplastics, elastomers, rubbers, including polypropylenes, polyethylenes and polystyrenes or by-product derived from manufacturing operations, and the syngas is useful for direct generation of electric power in a fuel cell device and production of hydrogen and/or commodity chemicals such as Fischer-Tropsch products including 4-5C hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus energy efficiently provides the syngas with high quality and with reduced emissions of carbon dioxide.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The apparatus comprises a crucible (1) containing molten metal (2), an exhaust pipe connected to the crucible for discharge of syngas, a unit for cooling the syngas connected to the exhaust pipe to form a sealed unit with the crucible, a tapping unit for discharge of slag from the crucible, induction coil provided for inductively heating molten metal disposed within the crucible, and a power supply circuit for energizing the induction coil with an alternating current (AC) power with a pre-determined waveform. The power supply circuit is adapted to provide the AC with a frequency of 50 Hz to 1 kHz. The crucible includes a unit for injecting a feed fuel material and/or oxidantgas beneath a surface of the molten metal. The power supply circuit comprises a series or parallel resonant converter circuit and/or a series parallel resonant converter circuit configured to convert direct current power into AC power waveform. The converter circuit is present in electrical communication with the power supply circuit. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a process for gasification of a feed fuel material containing carbon into syngas.
