<p>A non-pyrolyzed coal briquette comprising inorganic clay as a binder. A process for manufacturing non-pyrolyzed coal briquettes is also described which comprises contacting appropriately sized coal fines with the proper amount of inorganic clay to create a blended mixture of inorganic clay and coal. The blended mixture is contacted with water so that the moisture content is sufficient to create a briquettable mixture. The briquettable mixture is compressed under conditions of ambient temperature and with appropriate pressure for a sufficient time to form briquettes. The briquettes are dried until the moisture content is at equilibrium with the atmosphere and, thereby, non-pyrolyzed coal briquettes are created.</p> |
