Title: Combined method for simultaneously dewatering and reconstituting finely divided carbonaceous material

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7171031

A finely-divided carbonaceous material is dewatered and reconstituted in a combined process by adding a binding agent directly into the slurry of finely divided material and dewatering the material to form a cake or consolidated piece which can be hardened by drying at ambient or elevated temperatures. Alternatively, the binder often in the form of a crusting agent is sprayed onto the surface of a moist cake prior to curing. 8 figs.
