[0001] Referring to FIG. 3, a phase and energy diagram 300 of water is illustrated. In thermochemical processes of carbonaceous materials, it has been known in the art that the moisture content of the feedstock materials is one of the important parameter with respect to the energy efficiency as well as the operational aspects of thermochemical processes. The moisture is often considered as an energy penalty due to the high energy required in vaporizing the moisture content of the feedstock materials. In practice, system designers often try to utilize the waste heat for the drying process to reduce the energy cost. In the total energy required for the drying process, the latent heat of vaporization generally requires a major portion of the total energy required.
