For almost 150 years briquetting of peat and coal played an important role in Europe. In addition to the better shape and size, in most cases fines were processed other properties, such as heating value, water resistance, thermal shock resistance, as well as transport and storage characteristics, were improved. In many cases coal is dried prior to briquetting. This paper will present a survey of the technologies that were used and are still available for the bondless briquetting of peat, lignite, and sub-bituminous coal as well as for briquetting with binders of sub-bituminous and bituminous coal and anthracite.
