  • the strength of the char was evaluated under the same conditions as a hot strength (CSR) measuring method of coke for metallurgy used in a blast furnace.
  • CSR hot strength
  • the char was put in an I-type drum for measuring the hot strength (CSR) of coke and rotated 600 times at 20rpm, and then the content of the remaining char with a size of 10mm or more was measured.
  • a length of the I-type drum was 600mm.
  • the experimental result is represented in the following Table 1. In the case of Comparative Example 1 without adding graphite, the char strength was 75%, but in Experimental Examples 1 to 5 with added graphite, the char strengths were increased to 80% or more.
  • Coal briquettes were manufactured by using kish graphite and crystalline graphite. In addition, the hot strength of the coal briquettes was measured.
  • Coal briquettes were manufactured by using kish graphite that is a by-product of an iron making process. Since the kish graphite was generated by precipitating a carbon component dissolved in molten iron, purity and crystallinity thereof were excellent.
  • the coal briquettes manufactured by adding kish graphite at 10wt% to coal A was transformed to char. In this case, a hot strength index of the char of the coal briquettes was 82.7%. Further, an I-drum strength index representing the char strength was relatively high at 86%.
  • Coal briquettes were manufactured by using crystalline graphite.
  • the coal briquettes manufactured by adding crystalline graphite at 10wt% to coal A was transformed to char.
  • the hot strength index of the char of the coal briquettes at 77.7% was slightly lower than the hot strength index of the char of the coal briquettes of Experimental Example 6.
  • the I-drum strength index representing the char strength as 84% was similar to the char strength of the coal briquettes of Experimental Example 6.
  • Coal briquettes including graphite at 2 wt% and using molasses as a binder was manufactured. An operation was observed by charging the coal briquettes in the melter-gasifier. The operation was continuously performed and a coal kind and a usage condition of molasses were equally maintained for a continuous operation period.
  • the hot strength of the coal briquettes, and a yield of molten iron and fuel cost of the melter-gasifier were summarized by average values for the operation period. The hot strength was represented based on +16 mm, the hot strength was largely increased by adding the graphite, the yield of molten iron largely increased by improving permeability and flowage, and the fuel cost was reduced.
  • the coal briquettes was secondarily acid-treated for 3 hours again in a hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution at 48% heated at 50°C, washed using distilled water, and then dried to manufacture a sample for analysis.
  • HF hydrofluoric acid
  • an X-ray diffraction analysis was performed by using a copper (CU) target at a speed of 1 degree/min with an acceleration voltage of 20kV at 100mA.
  • Coal briquettes including graphite of 5wt% were manufactured.
  • the rest of the experimental processes were the same as those of the aforementioned Experimental Example 1.
  • a sample for analysis was extracted according to the aforementioned method.
  • Coal briquettes including graphite at 10wt% were manufactured.
  • the rest of the experimental processes were the same as those of the aforementioned Experimental Example 1.
  • a sample for analysis was extracted according to the aforementioned method.
  • Coal briquettes including graphite are 15wt% were manufactured.
  • the rest of the experimental processes were the same as those of the aforementioned Experimental Example 1.
  • a sample for analysis was extracted according to the aforementioned method.
  • Coal briquettes including graphite of 20wt% were manufactured.
  • the rest of the experimental processes were the same as those of the aforementioned Experimental Example 1.
  • a sample for analysis was extracted according to the aforementioned method.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an X-ray diffraction graph of coal briquettes manufactured according to Experimental Examples 10 to 13 and Comparative Example 1.
