I wouldn't, always safer to go heaver gauge. I recommend 8 gauge if you are going to be running any length of wire. Fire is never fun
I believe the above answer assumes the question was meant to read, "30 amp 220 volt dryer."
12 gauge wire WILL NOT carry 30 amps safely. You need to run #10 copper minimum. It is never a bad idea to upsize, such as the recommended #8, but it is not necessary if 30 amps is what you need.

Can a dryer outlet be converted to 2 separate circuits?
If you are no longer using the dryer and there are 4-wires, and the dryer was 220 to 240 volts, it can be split into two 110 to 120 Volt circuits.
Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?
No !

What 12 volt battery is best to replace 6 volt battery bank and retain ample reserve capacity?
If your load runs on 6 volts, you cannot replace it with a 12 volt battery. You will be exceeding the voltage rating of your load and will start a fire.If you want more amps (capacity) then you can wire more 6 volt batteries in parallel with the first.
Is there a device to operate a 220 volt dryer into two separate 110 volt outlets?
No and it wouldn't work. The wires in a standard plug (#14) even at 240 volts would not be large enough to handle the 30 amps (#10) that a dryer would need.
