Distilling carbonaceous materials

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7296727
A process for distilling, carbonizing, or vaporizing solid carbonaceous materials is characterized by applying heat externally to a chamber in which solid carbonaceous material is arranged and protecting the material from the action of air, liquids, or gases other than those evolved in the distilling operation. The evolved gases, vapors, and liquids are withdrawn and caused to travel through the coolest portion of the material in the chamber in escaping from the chamber. The oils and liquids evolved in the distilling operation are collected and removed.
