Briquetting of coal

Company B Blending ratio DPC 2 and 5% FPC 5% selective blending to partial briquetting of coal charge is also applied. 1. Blending limit is 3-5% partial briquetting of coal charge 2. DPC is superior to FPC. 

Mostly due to environmental reasons and in some cases based on economical considerations, renewed interest in the briquetting of coal fines has become evident in many locations. As general interest in new investments declined, many of the firms that were traditionally engaged in this field went out of (that) business only a few companies are still offering equipment and know-how for the conventional briquetting of coal fines with roller presses.

As shown earlier (Section 6.2.2), around the middle of the 19th century the basic principles of punch-and-die presses were also developed and widely patented. Particularly the indexed table arrangement of McEerran (1874, Section 6.2.2, Eig. 6.2-38) seems to have been influenced by a similar but larger press for the briquetting of coal, the so-called Couffinhal press (invented 1859). Contrary to the success of the rotating table press in the pharmaceutical industry, for coal, this machine was in industrial use for only a short period of time (below) during the same period when the first roller presses were installed.

To overcome the main problem of conventional coal briquettes, excessive pollution, beginning in about the 1960s, research started in Europe, particularly the UK and in Japan to develop smokeless coal briquettes. As a result of fundamental studies into and evaluations of the briquetting of coal at the British National Coal Board s Coal Research Establishment (NCB/CRE) a book on roll pressing was published in 1976 [B.13b].

Distillation at high temperatures results in aromatic compounds retained in the pitch which are harmful to health. Pitch is used in many industries briquetting of coal, roofing materials, waterproofing of wood, manufacture of electrodes, impermeable paper, optical lenses, dyestuffs and paints.
