ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A process for the production of reducing-gas mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen by the partial oxidation of at least one hydrocarbon with an oxygen-containing gas or a mixture of oxygen-containing gases, in stoichiometric ratios. The process comprises selecting a predetermined equilibrium temperature, forming an arc plasma by striking an arc in a portion of the reactants in gaseous phase, reacting the remaining portion of reactants with the arc plasma to obtain a gaseous reaction mixture having an average temperature at least equal to the pre- determined equilibrium temperature but lower than the temperature of the plasma and following the reaction mixture to reach homo- geneity at the said average temperature. The process of the invention does not necessitate thorough pre-cleaning or pre- purification of the starting materials and, accordingly, off-gas from an integrated ore reduction process may be used as main oxidizing gas. The reducing gas produced is suitable for the direct reduction of ores.
