In a process for the manufacture of fuel briquettes, preferably for generating heating energy, a non-caking, finely granular carbon carrier, preferably petroleum coke, and a pitch-containing binder are mixed and this starting mixture is briquetted to give pre-mouldings, and the fuel briquettes are formed from the pre-mouldings by a consolidating heat treatment. The pitch-containing binder used is a binder mixture of pitch and caking coal at a temperature from more than 100 DEG C to 200 DEG C. The non-caking carbon carrier is mixed with the binder mixture at a mixing temperature which is within the same temperature range. The pre-mouldings are briquetted at this mixing temperature. The pre-mouldings are subjected to a heat treatment having an end temperature of more than 400 DEG C. The invention also relates to the fuel briquettes produced. |
