On the shaping of lignite

No one is responding; I’ll reply myself

Generally, the binders used for shaping lignite must be determined through testing. I’ve heard from others that a relatively economical and environmentally friendly binder can be the syrup produced by sugar factories.

Shaping lignite is too difficult; it’s not easy at all

Briquette coal, simply put, is coal in a defined shape; it is a coal product that is produced by further processing raw coal using modern methods, giving it a specific shape as well as certain physical and chemical properties. It is not, as people subjectively assume, simply a form of coal that can be called briquette after undergoing basic processing. In fact, briquettes that meet the standards require raw coal to be crushed first, or coal powder and slime as well as coke powder to be screened; thereafter, additives and binders are added in certain proportions, and after mixing, the mixture is processed using molding machinery to produce honeycomb briquettes, coal balls, and coal bricks. In this process, additives and binders are the key to the technology; it can be said that the entire technological content of briquettes lies in them. An excessive or insufficient amount of these substances will directly affect the combustion value of the briquettes, preventing them from meeting the required standards.
