Abstract

A production technology has been developed for strong briquets (with high CSR and M25) based on coke derived from Kansko-Achinsk lignite. A mixture consisting of lignite coke and binder (Zh and KZh coal) is crushed (to particle size less than 0.2 mm) and mixed with strengthening additive. This blend (57.7% lignite coke + 19.2% binder + 23.1% additive) is shaped into briquets, which are roasted at 1000°C and cooled in the absence of air. For the briquets, CSR = 58.8% and M25 = 97.4%. The strength in drop tests is 99.1%, and the wear resistance is 99.2%. Technical analysis of the briquets shows that W = 1–2%, Ad = 8–10%, Vdaf = 3–7%, Sd = 0.2–0.4%, Pd = 0.014%, and Cfix = 85–88%. The briquets are characterized by distinctive physicochemical properties, such as high activity with respect to CO2 (\(K_{CO_2}\) = 4.6 cm3/g s; CRI = 66.1%). Its electrical resistivity ρ = 8 Ω cm for the 3–6 mm size class; and its developed porosity is 50–56%. Applications of the briquets are outlined.
