Since more than 100 years ago briquetting plays an important role in many countries during the upgrading of different types of coal, from soft to hard. In addition to the better shape and size of briquetted coal, often other properties are also improved such as heating value, water resistance, thermal shock resistance as well as transport and storage characteristics. In many cases coal is also dried in connection with briquetting. The paper will present a survey of technologies which are available for binderless briquetting of lignite and sub-bituminous coal as well as for briquetting with binders of sub-bituminous and bituminous coal or anthracite.
