How will you purify aniline containing non-basic impurities ?
Aniline is of basic nature. In order to remove non-basic impurities, it is treated with dilute HCl when aniline forms non-volatile hydrochloride. The impurities can be removed by distillation. From the hydrochloride, aniline can be regenerated by reacting with a base such as sodium hydroxide.
