In modern conditions of a market economy, energy consumption is actively increasing, which inevitably leads to the creation of efficient energy-saving technologies that ensure the comprehensive use of raw materials and materials while minimizing the harmful impact on the environment. We are currently producing 120 mm coke briquette for foundries and enterprises. producing insulation. The coke briquette has high quality indicators and is recommended by the VUHIN Institute for use in cupola furnaces together with foundry coke CL-1. The relevance is confirmed by the indisputable advantages of using briquettes from coke breeze and dust in modern production. These include the following:
1. Considering the high cost of coke (a difference of up to 30%), the possibility of using briquettes in shaft-type furnaces (metal reducing agent, energy carrier);
2. The presence of the same regular shape and weight, which can increase the efficiency of combustion devices;
3. Coke briquettes have high strength, hence, better transportability;
4. Ecological safety of briquettes (smokeless and low inlet smoke, wasteless during manufacture and use, absence of excessively high temperatures during manufacturing);
Thus, using the technology of briquetting coke-chemical waste, we save energy and raw materials of the enterprise, significantly reduce environmental pollution, and create new, efficient jobs.
