Twenty-four papers on the latest advances in the technology of coal-briquetting are presented. Topics discussed include applications of briquetting in the recycling of waste materials, agglomeration technologies, notably the use of fluidized beds, briquet rolling and pressing processes, the manufacture of coke briquets, the production of blast furnace fuel by hot briquetting, the hot extrusion of coal, an improved petroleum form coke for foundry use, mechanical and hydraulic compacting presses, the densification of porous materials, a fluidized-bed facility for hot briquet and form coke research, and the briquetting of brown coal.
