Production of fuel briquettes from carbon containing materials

Abstract

Most often for production thermal energy use oil, gas, and coal is more rarely. Also for receiving thermal energy it is possible to use other carbon materials, including the waste. The other side during a woodworking a large number of wastes is formed. The similar side is observed and when processing combustible slates. Both wood and slate waste can be used for production energy resources. One of ways of processing of the above waste is their briquetting. The complex of researches which showed possibility of receiving fuel briquettes from products of a woodworking and a shale processing was carried out. The optimum ratio of waste from a wood content and shale products are ranging from 10:40:50 to 20:60:20. Briquetting was made without binding substances since wood products acted as some kind of binding. It significantly simplifies and reduces the price of techniques. Briquettes were formed by both as uniform pressing as and extrusion. Possibility of production fuel briquettes from coal slimes and paper waste is also shown. Use as carbonaceous components of the coal slimes such as shale waste and paper waste acting as binding substance gives the chance to receive idle time in production and on structure a fuel briquette and at the same time to utilize coal and paper waste. The flammable briquettes having a special incendiary layer were made. Such layer easily ignites from low-energy sources of heat (for example, matches) then burning is goon the main part of a briquette.
