PRODUCING AGGLOMERATES FROM FINE-GRAINED LIGNITE PRODUCING AGGLOMERATES FROM FINE-GRAINED LIGNITE

摘要

A process for producing agglomerates from fine-grained lignite or fine-grained carbonized lignite or from mixtures of the two, characterized in that the fine-grained material is pelletized using a pellet forming agent and, where required, water. Suitable pellet forming agents include clays, cements, water glass and calcium-containing materials. The agglomerates produced by the process of this invention have a grain size and grain hardeners that renders them suitable for a variety of uses, such as the production of fertilizers with a lignite base, the production of adsorption agents, and the reduction or centering of iron ores.
