Definitions
- This invention relates to an adhesion material for coal fines to be used in burning at low temperatures of up to about 1200°C.
- coal fines there are large quantities of discard quality or duff coal fines which are available but generally not commercially usable in that form.
- coal For the coal to be useful as a source of domestic heating it needs to be agglomerated into briquettes or similarly sized products. This need to be achieved in a manner which will enable the agglomerated product to withstand normal handling to reach its location for combustion without substantial disintegration back into fines.
- the agglomeration must also be effected in a manner which will not materially interfere with the normal burning of coal.
- Duff coal fines have in the past been agglomerated using binders such as starch or molasses in high dosage rates with consequent expense. Molasses also forms a containment in the combustion environment which is highly undesirable. In the result these binders are not really adequate for their purposes.
- a material for agglomerating coal fines for use in combustion at temperatures below 1300° C which material comprises a mixture of carboxy cellulose and guar gum each in a proportion of 0.1% to 6.0% of agglomerated product.
- carboxy cellulose to be carboxy ethyl methyl cellulose and to be of high viscosity, particularly of the order of 20,000 cps.
- the invention also provides an agglomerated product of coal fines in a mixture in the range of 5.0 mm to 0.05 mm mixed with a material as defined above.
- Still further features of this invention provide for there to be an approximately even mixture of size of coal particles and for there to be a carboxy cellulose quantity of about 1.5% and guar gum quantity of about 0.5% of the final mixture and for the mixture to include a quantity of between 1% and 5% of agglomerating material as mixed.
- Duff coal fines having a particle size range of between 0.05 mm to 5 mm are obtainable and has an analysis as follows:-
- Volatile material 1 % to 48% Where the ash content is in excess of 20% it is desirable that this content toe reduced before the fines are agglomerated. This can be effectively done by washing and separating in well known flotation and centrifuging processes.
- the fines should also be dried to a moisture content of around 2% and this can be effected in a cyclone separator for example. Treatment in this manner renders the fines a good quality coal for general domestic use for heating and cooking.
- the cellulose will have a viscosity of the order of 20,000 cps and the coal fines preferably has a fairly even mixture between small and large size range particles.
- Mixing can be effected at ambient temperature in standard mixing equipment such as concrete mixers similar to the Eimich type mixer.
- the material After mixing the material is briquetted in any convenient manner for example in a modified brick making machine using low pressures.
- the agglomerating material forms a strong film around the fine coal particles which adhere to each other in a manner without interference with the high volatiles present in the coal. Because the compounds are non-reactive they do not change the standard properties of the coal.
- the resultant dried briquettes sustain and burn evenly up to a temperature of about 1200 °C.
- the invention thus provides a satisfactory agglomerated coal product particular suitable for domestic and general heating purposes from a product of basically waste material.
