gasifying
Turning into vapor
Gasifying is converting a solid or liquid into gas.
The term appears most often in industrial contexts—coal gasification produces synthetic fuel, and waste gasification reduces landfill volume.
The plant is gasifying wood chips to generate electricity.
The process typically involves high heat or chemical reactions that break down material into gaseous components.
