Development of a Technology, Processing Carbon-containing Fine-grained Waste into High-quality Briquette Fuel

Abstract

This article provides an overview of existing methods and techniques for processing man-made carbonaceous wastes from the coke chemical and coal mining industries, i.e. coke and coal dust. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods are briefly described. Based on the advantages, an oil agglomeration method was chosen to enrich the coke and coal dust. This method is effective in the enrichment of fine-grained waste, such as coal and coke dust, while the yield of the carbonaceous concentrate is up to 85%. The results of the technical analysis of the initial carbon-containing wastes and the obtained coal concentrate are presented. The qualitative characteristics of the briquetted fuel obtained on the basis of the concentrate are given. The specifications of the briquetted fuel are presented and its advantages are described.
