1. Annotation to proposal.

The design group of the Chair of Underground Development of Deposits and Mineral Enrichment of the NTU Dnipro University of Technology, specializing on development and introduction of installations of the fuel cold agglomeration, implements adhesively chemical technology of production solid organic fuel. This technology will provide additional fuel sources from products and wastes of the coal, wood-processing and agriculture industry (such as brown coal, peat, lignite, black coal sludge and their combinations, sawdust, husks of seeds, finely dispersed plywood).

 

2. Description of proposal.

The essence of developed technology of cold material agglomeration is that the components of original raw mixture (stock), if necessary with the additives promoting physical and mechanical properties (slaked lime, water glass, Portland cement, plaster gypsum), are able to be mixed and destructurized in full with installation HOT 31M, causing appearing of plastic dough-like mass with increased adhesive capacity. The die of installation generates the final solid organic fuel.

 

3. Innovative aspects and advantages of proposal.

The technology of adhesively chemical agglomeration of the solid fuel has been developed.

Trade mark

It had been developed the technology and technical regulations for production of organic fuels. The technology (contains “know-how”) is based on adhesively chemical processes of interaction the particles of composite fuel, which is formed into briquettes my means of the author's installation HOT 31M. Agglomerated cylindrical fuel rods with specific shape obtained in the process of pressing (under the pressure of 1.2 - 2.0 MPa).

Fuel, even when using high-ash black coal sludges has a calorific value not less than 3500 kcal / kg and when agglomeration of low-ash coal it can reach 4500 kcal / kg, and when agglomeration of anthracite sludges and duffs – up to 6000 kcal / kg.

Application of organic fuel received with the help of installation HОТ-31М:

  • - heating of premises by domestic furnaces;
  • - combustion in local boilers;
  • - using in drying furnaces;
  • - heating of railroad trains;
  • - heating of greenhouses and greeneries;
  • - combustion in smith bugles;
  • - using in heat power stations.
