In an attempt to find an economic balance of national fuel and energy consumption, the use of petroleum coke briquettes to replace hard coal briquettes in certain industries has been explored. The influence of carbonization conditions on the density, volatile matter, and mechanical strength of petroleum coke briquettes to ascertain whether they can be used as a fuel in lime kilns and shaft smelters for nickel ores has been investigated. The petroleum coke briquettes were found to undergo a number of complex physicochemical changes during heat treatment, and thermograph curves are included. Analysis of the thermographic data have established the temperature at which various processes take place; i.e. distillation, 240/sup 0/C; binder degradation and carbonization, 400-560/sup 0/C; and coke degradation and densification, 570/sup 0/C. These same physicochemical changes are reflected in the changes in the mechanical properties of the briquettes. 5 figures, 2 tables.
