摘要:
Briquettes made from bituminous or sub-bituminous coal or peat are produced by grinding the coal, mixing it with a binder and compacting the mixture. They are then carbonized in a continuous process in a shaft oven. The coal may be predried and the finished briquettes may be preheated, with a subsequent drying and hardening. The carbonization is effected in two stages in an indirectly heated shaft oven, with the evolved gas being taken off about at the mid-height of the oven shaft, processed, and used for heating in the second, high-temperature stage. The flue gases from this high-temperature stage are used for heating in the first stage and for preheating. The second or high-temperature stage is followed by a cooling stage where the gases evolved in the second stage, and mainly comprising hydrogen are used and circulated. The evolved gas in excess is continuously removed from the cooling circuit.

The disclosure describes a process for agglomerating particulate wood material such as saw dust, wood shavings, fines, bark, tree needles, wood chips, wood dust, newspaper and cardboard material, impurities normally encountered therein and mixtures thereof. The process comprises providing a particulate wood material with a moisture content of between about 10 to 40 percent by weight calculated on a dry basis. Then, the moisture containing particulate wood material is dry mixed with dry powdered lignosulfonate to form a substantially homogeneous mixture which is compressed under a pressure of at least about 400 lbs/inch.sup.2 until the particulate wood material is agglomerated. The product obtained is resilient, easily ignitable and combustible.
摘要:
Thermally shock-resistant chemically bonded agglomerates suitable for use as a combustible fuel or in a gasification process are produced by:(a) mixing particulate organic material comprising particulate carbonaceous fuel and/or animal excrement (such as dewatered comminuted sewage sludge) with a lignosulfonate, in the presence of water, with application of heat sufficient to maintain the lignosulfonate in fluid form, so as to deposit a film of lignosulfonate over the surface of the particulate material;(b) oxidatively conditioning the lignosulfonate coated particulate material under conditions permitting escape of water present in the mixed particulate material, the conditioning either being in the presence of calcium ions or being followed by mixing the conditioned particulate material with lime; and(c) shaping the resulting free-flowing plastic mixture under pressure, to form the thermally shock-resistant agglomerates.

摘要:
Dry, random size, mine run coal fines are mixed with a concentrated liquor by-product (e.g. ammonium lignin sulfonate liquor, 40-60% solids by weight) of a sulfite paper making process of an amount sufficient to merely wet the coal fines such that they will hold shape when compressed. The wet coal fines are formed into large shapes (e.g. cylindrical logs or rectangular blocks) and the shapes are compressed. The wet coal fines are hopper fed into mold cavities and within the mold cavities are subjected to pressures within the range of 2,000-3,000 psi. The dried shapes are coated with a wax substance.
摘要:
A process for the production of fuel from coal for the pressure gasification of coal in a fixed bed reactor comprising the steps of segregating the coal into oversize and undersize fractions, mixing the undersize fraction with sulfite liquor to form an agglomerate and forming the agglomerate into pellets. The pellets are then hardened in a low temperature furnace and subsequently fed through a charging valve into the reactor, together with the oversize fraction.
摘要:
A composite wood product adapted for burning includes a compacted mixture of lignosulfonate, wood particles, and ground corn. A method of manufacturing the composite wood product includes: (i) providing and mixing the lignosulfonate, the wood particles, and the ground corn to form a mixture having a moisture content from about 6 wt. % to about 18 wt. %; compacting the mixture at high pressure; and drying the mixture to obtain an optimum moisture level for burning. The composite wood product may be provided in a kit that includes log-shaped pieces and starter pieces.
