Process for removal of water from a mixture of water and certain solid residues of carbonaceous material, such as a coal char-water slurry, which comprises mixing the slurry with an acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, a surfactant, preferably water-immiscible such as lecithin, and an organic compound such as a liquid hydrocarbon, e.g. mineral spirits, causing the char to agglomerate, and thereby facilitating separation of the char from the mixture, as by screening, and filtering or centrifuging.
