- the rate of the inert gas which flows countercurrent to the hot briquette charge to cool the same is reduced in the upper half of the shaft, preferably at a point between one-half of the height of the shaft kiln and the upper one-third thereof.
- the partial stream which is laterally withdrawn from the upper half of the shaft and the residual stream which is withdrawn from the top of the shaft cooler are jointly subjected to dust collection and cooling and returned to the discharge end of the shaft cooler, where they are reintroduced into the charge.
- the cooled recirculated gas for precooling the hot briquettes may be at a temperature between 30 and 200C. as it enters the shaft cooler. Where steam is used, the same should have a temperature above 100C. whereas lower temperatures may be adopted where, e.g., flue gases are employed.

PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR COOLING HOT BRIQUETTES BACKGROUND This invention relates to process and apparatus for cooling hot briquettes made from fine-grained coke and fine caking coal at a temperature in the range of 400550C., by means of an inert gas in a shaft through which the briquettes travel continuously under the action of gravity.

DOS 1,915,905 discloses a processin which the hot briquettes must be kept at or below the pressing temperature for a predetermined time, which depends on said temperature. A relatively long aftertreatment of at least 30 minutes is required. The hot briquettes arepreferably treated intermittently in two shafts, which are filled in alternation. After the treatment for the predetermined time, the hot briquettes are cooled quickly.
I-lot briquettes are preferably made by'pressing caking hard coal with an addition of non-softening solids, particularly fine-grained coke, in the plastic range of the hard coal at temperatures between 400 and 540C. The coke is heated to such a high temperature that the mixture of coke and of the caking coal, which has been predried and, if desired, preheated, assumes a mixed temperature in the range of 400 to 540C. and the mixture is charged at this temperature to the briquetting press.

SUMMARY The invention relates toa process of cooling hot briquettes madefrom fine-grained coke and fine caking:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The present invention will be more fully understood by reference to the accompanying drawing wherein preferred apparatus of the invention is diagrammatically illustrated, said apparatus being suitable for carrying out the process of the invention.
DESCRIPTION The invention combines the effective cooling with a thermal aftertreatment of the still hot briquettes.
The rate of the inert gas which flows countercurrent to the hot briquette charge to cool the same is reduced in the upper half of the shaft, preferably at a point between one-half of the height of the shaft kiln and the upper one-third thereof. The partial stream which is laterally withdrawn from the upper half of the shaft and the residual stream which is withdrawn from the top of the shaft cooler are jointly subjected to dust collection and cooling and returned to the discharge end of the shaft cooler, where they are reintroduced into the charge. The cooled recirculated gas for precooling the hot briquettes may be at a temperature between 30 and 200C. as it enters the shaft cooler. Where steam is used, the same should have a temperature above 100C. whereas lower temperatures may be adopted where, e.g., flue gases are employed.
The cold inert gases which are introduced are heated as they rise through the descending briquette charge, which is cooled at the same time. When the inert gas has passed through about two thirds of the charge in the shaft, part of the inert is branched off and laterally withdrawn from the shaft cooler.
It has also been found that with certain coals used in the making of the briquettes, heating of the hot briquettes by about 50C. to 100C. above the briquetting temperature considerably increases the strength and reduces the tar content of the hot briquettes. In any case, a treatment for a limited duration at a temperature which is slightly above the pressing temperature and a subsequent, initially slow cooling are desirable for an increase of the crushing strength and abrasion resistance of the hot briquettes.
For such treatment, hot inert gas which is at a temperature which is 50-l00C. above the briquetting temperature is introduced into the shaft cooler above the lateral branch for laterally withdrawing the partial stream. This introduction of hot gas raises the temperature of the hot briquettes by 25 to C.
The residence time of the hot briquettes in this heating-zone is generally 10-20 minutes whereas the residence time in the cooling zone is 20-40 minutes.
The gases to be recirculated are withdrawn at the end where the hot briquettes are charged and together with the partial stream withdrawn from the lower part are subjected to' dust collection, subsequently cooled, and reintroduced into the lower part of the shaft cooler.
The hot briquettes leaving the shaft cooler may be quickly aftercooled to eliminate the risk of selfignition. This aftercooling may be accomplished in various ways, including, for instance, by an aftertreatment with water, which may be sprayed, or in dip basins, as well as by a cooling with air alone.
The process and apparatus according to the invention will be explained more fully and by way of example with reference to FIG. 1.
The hot mixture is pressed in a double-roll press 1 and in the form of hot briquettes enters a shaft cooler 2.
Depending on local conditions, the hot briquettes made in the double-roll press 1 are first carried by a horizontal conveyor 3 and are subsequently raised, e.g., by means of a vertical elevator 4, to the level of a feed chute S, from which they flow to the shaft cooler 2. The chute 5 is suitably provided with a grate or screen 6, through which fines abraded from the briquettes and any undersize briquettes are discharged.
The hot briquettes travel as a packed charge through the shaft cooler 2 from top to bottom. A discharge valve 7 is controlled so that the shaft cooler is always filled up to the distributing chutes 8.
In the upper part 9 of the shaft cooler 2, the briquettes are slowly cooled or heat-treated whereas they are progressively cooled in a lower part 10.
The cooling is accomplished by circulating gases, which at a temperature of 30200C., e.g., of 130C. enter through the conduit 11 into the lower part of the shaft cooler and flow through the same from bottom to top. They cool the hot briquettes and heat themselves almost to the temperature of, e.g, 500C., at which the hot briquettes enter the lower part.
The lower part and upper part 9 of the shaft cooler are separated by cells 13, which are regularly spaced apart by spaces 12, through which the hot briquettes descend. The inert gas flows preferentially through the empty cells 13, in which a partial stream is branched off and is laterally withdrawn through 14. Heated gases, such as flue gases at a temperature of, e.g., 900C, may be supplied from a conduit 23 through inlets 21 disposed above withdrawing means 14 and are mixed with the remaining stream of the cooling gas to assume a mixed temperature which is about 50l00C. above the briquetting temperature, e.g., at 550C, and subsequently flow through outlet openings 15, preferably in the form of slots, from the several cells 13 into the upper part 9 of the shaft cooler.
The gases heat the hot briquettes in the upper portion 9 to a temperature which is about '75C. above the temperature at which hot briquettes enter the shaft cooler, e.g., to a temperature of 530C. This result in a transformation of the coke structure formed by the caking coal so that the strength of the briquette structure is increased.
The gases leave the upper part of the shaft at a temperature of, e.g., 500C. through the manifold 16 and together with the branch stream from the openings 14 and the conduit 22 flow through a cyclone 17 for a collection of the entrained dust and subsequently through a cooler 18 and are then forced back into the shaft cooler 2 by means of a blower 19. Surplus gas is discharged from the cycle through a conduit 20.
The cooler 18 may consist of a waste heat boiler for a generation of steam, or of a water-evaporating spray cooler or an indirect air or water cooler.
The process according to the invention and the apparatus for carrying out the process afford the advantage that the optimum conditions for the aftertreatment of hot briquettes can be adjusted in each case. Where the invention is used, the temperature profile of the cooling operation may be so designed, depending on the properties of the caking coal, its mixing ratio to the hot coke, and the temperature at which the hot briquettes have been pressed, that briquettes having an optimum crushing strength and abrasion resistance are obtained. By a control of the rate and temperature at which the gases are introduced and are withdrawn in separate streams, the temperature profile of the cooling operation can be adjusted to match any property of the hot briquettes.
