Abstract: An economic process for thermally dewatering a solid carbonaceous material containing substantial amounts of chemically attached water is disclosed. The process is capable of economically removing up to 95% of the chemically attached water in the disclosed process.
Abstract: A process for the production of predetermined variable amounts of diphenylamine and aniline from a feedstock consisting essentially of phenol and ammonia is disclosed. The process involves catalytically reacting phenol and ammonia to produce aniline in situ and then reacting part of the aniline with other phenol and aniline to produce DPA, with the remaining aniline being removed from the reaction media as product.
