Carbonaceous briquette

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6189442

Green briquette agglomerates are manufactured by simultaneously crushing and blending high sulfur petroleum coke, a high R/B softening point, high sulfur and metals content asphaltene binder and dolomitic limestone as a sulfur sorbent in pulverizer. The uniform mixture is cold pressed on roll briquetting machine into durable briquettes. On gasification or combustion, a high percentage of the sulfur combines with the Dolomite and is discharged from the gasifier or furnace with the ash. The sorbent effectiveness and degree of sulfur oxide emission control are significantly enhanced versus prior art when burning a high sulfur coke in the improved briquette of the invention.
