Production of Lignite Briquettes From Run of Mine Lignite
Introduction
A national research organisation offers a process for the production of lignite briquettes from run of mine lignite. By crushing/sizing/screening and pretreatment of powder lignite, it can be fed to the briquetting press of high pressure capacity. Thereafter these can be cured. The process is very simple and can be adopted by small scale industries.
Environmental Considerations
The process does not produce any gases etc. but care is necessary to arrest the dust during processing.
List of Machinery/ Equipment
- Crusher Vibrating screen
- High pressure briquetting press
- Waste heat drying plant

Energy
Major part of the briquettes produced can be used in thermal power stations, metallurgical reactors, pre heating furnaces etc. and as domestic fuel etc.
The process is very simple. This is dependent on the size of the plant. However, for briquetted products from the raw lignite, it will cost about Rs. 100 per ton. Exact techno-economics can be worked out on a pre-defined capacity.
