Selecting the Batch Composition in Briquetting

Abstract

A new approach to selecting the optimal batch composition and properties in briquetting is proposed. To that end, the influence of the batch composition and properties on briquet production and applicability is analyzed. On that basis, four basic aspects of the stepwise optimization of batch composition and properties are considered. For each aspect, the conditions on the batch are formulated. Optimization criteria are developed and used to select the best batch composition.
