The paper gives a general characteristic of coal refuse processing products: intermediate fractioncoal-free screenings; small fractioncarboniferous sand containing up to 30% coal; fine fractionsilt coal containing up to 50% coal. Green and baked ceramic properties of products of processing waste coal are demonstrated. Compositions of raw mixes for items with compression strength of over 10-15 MPa with a density of below 800 kg/m 3 are substantiated, with considerations for molding with semi-rigid extrusion and requirement of minimizing baking costs. Processing properties of screenings are presented as functions of material grinding and baking temperature. A process diagram has been plotted for a possible production facility using modern equipment. Technical and economic indexes are presented, showing high profitability and promising nature of manufacturing large-size structural clay tiles from the products of processing waste coal thanks to minimal prime cost of the tiles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
